This gives you the flexibility to add and remove layers where needed depending on the conditions and your activity level.
Outer Layer
Most expedition and cruise ships provide you with a waterproof and windproof jacket. If you are bringing your own, make sure it's waterproof and slightly bigger than usual. You want to fit all the layers and possibly your camera under it to protect it from splash or rain.
