Weather?

Hello, since you're enrolled in this program you will receive a detailed information packet approximately 3 months before the program begins and a final information packet approximately 1 month before the program begins. Please refer to that for full details on what to pack.

Here are some tips for now:

Practical, casual, and comfortable are the main principles for packing. Dressing in layers is recommended. Bring wind/waterproof outer layers and remember wool, silk, and synthetic fibers retain heat better than cotton when wet. There is no dress code aboard the ship, practical informal clothing is the standard. Some people may prefer to dress up for dinners and special occasions but this is not compulsory!

Be prepared for a wide range of weather conditions. A pair of solid shoes is most appropriate for time aboard the ship, and hiking boots are recommended for field trips ashore. Mosquito repellent and a mosquito net for your face are strongly recommended.

We hope you have a wonderful time on your upcoming adventure! Best, Rachel
