What to bring
It’s smart to bring warm, layered clothing and a windproof jacket, as it can get cold on the water, especially late at night.
A hat, gloves, and scarf will help you stay comfortable while watching the fireworks and Northern Lights on deck. You may also want to bring a camera or phone to capture the moment, plus a small bag for personal items like lip balm or hand warmers.
