Creator's Key Takeaways
We are doing that as we get ready for our Northern Lights cruise up above the Arctic Circle in winter.
We also have the challenge of packing for two climates. Not only will we be above the Arctic Circle, but we're also starting our trip in Oxford, the United Kingdom.
We recently received this message from Viking about being able to rent or purchase a clothing package for the trip that would be delivered to you on the ship.
I hope you keep following us and see how this cruise comes out.
