I am assuming layers, raincoat, etc. Yes, this is our first 'cold weather' cruise so it will be a new experience for us! Lots of layers, gloves and a woolly hat or two. I think there can be pleasant weather at that time of year so we live in hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there could be a heat wave. Yes to the hat and gloves. We will not be out on Zodiacs, but we still might need them.

We’ve had both ends of the scale in a number of summer trips. Temps as low as the 50s, mist and rain and an entire cruise in july 2019 with temperatures in the high 70s/low 80s. Of course, even then it does drop cooler at night. I can’t recall which month you said your trip was. In may there will likely still be snow on the mountainsides along the fjords.

Our trip begins June 11th. I'll be watching the forecast ahead of time, but we have found that weather experts have not been very accurate lately with predictions. We will try to cover all of our bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauzac Posted March 2, 2023 #59 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) We are embarking on August 6th so I hold out hope it won't be too cold. I'm hoping for a typical english spring day, anything more than that is a bonus! We still hope to eat in E&O on occasion, we've done it before wrapped in blankets!

Techno123 Posted April 13, 2023 #64 Share Posted April 13, 2023 We have also had an itinerary change for the 9th July sailing - no longer doing the scenic cruise of the Trollfjord when we stop at Svolvaer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted April 13, 2023 #65 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) In Stavanger, we’ve booked the Lysefjord Cruise - Experience Preikestolen tour directly from Rodne Fjord Cruise. You board just a short walk from where the ship docks. On this tour, you don’t hike Preikestolen, but see it from Lysefjord. https://rodne.no/en/fjordcruise/lysefjord-preikestolen/ Edited April 13, 2023 by Tapi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is the change. It is a disappointment. Ours is the June sailing. Edited April 13, 2023 by SLSD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
