Anyone going on this cruise? Any ideas about clothing for the Iceland
passages?

Layers, and rain gear (rain jacket with hood, and rain pants).
Depending on the month, wool hat and gloves. But even in July and
August it could be cold out on the water.

We were in Greenland and Iceland on the Ocean Princess last July and the
weather was not too cold.But that IS the North Atlantic and you should
be prepared in case it does get cold. layering should do the trick.

P.S. You will have lots of daylight hours to see the sights. Too bad you
will have missed the 'Midnight Sun' by about month. unless you have an
inside cabin, you may want to take along a eye mask for sleeping. All
that daylight can be disorienting.

My guess is that they're not missing the midnight sun. Up as far as
Iceland, there may be 24 hours of total daylight for as much as 2
months, so they may still catch it. Or at worst, they may have 15-20
minutes of semi darkness. It's still going to be bright outside.
