Creator's Key Takeaways

One of my biggest tips for you if you're going to Norway is make sure you have got something warm and something for some hot weather because boy, you may need it.

I'm definitely going to make sure that I'm putting in enough clothes to enable me to go out and explore the different places that we're going to without feeling stupid.

I got back to the cabin and a couple of hours later, my legs were so red and so sore. I mean, it really hurt me to even put my trousers on.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pack for all four seasons (sun, rain, wind, and snow) when cruising to Norway.

✓Check the weather a few days before departure and again the day before leaving.

✓Always pack sun cream, even if the forecast looks cool, as the sun can be strong on open decks.

✓Bring smart attire for formal/smart nights on Ambassador cruises.

✓Pack a change of clothes in your rucksack/hand luggage in case your main suitcase is delayed.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Weather unpredictability — Pack a mix of warm gear (fleeces, waterproofs) and hot weather gear (shorts, swimwear) because Norway has high variation.

Sunburn risk — Do not skip sun cream; even with a breeze, you can get severely burnt on open decks.
