Baltic Cruise

[pahumph]

I am cruising the Baltic Sea in August. What may I expect temperature wise? What type of clothing should I take?

Take layers

Layers and throw in a rain coat. Of course we were there last summer with record heat in STP so I was glad I had a couple sun dresses. In Finland it rained so rain coat was great. have a great time ... it was my favorite cruise so far and would love to go again. Donna

Don't rely on weather predictions! On our Baltic cruise, we experienced unusually sunny skies and warm temps with predictions of rain and 50 degrees - people were complaining they only had sweaters and heavy clothes with them. Same thing just happened to us on our May Alaska cruise - it was 79 in Juneau and 75 in Skagway - other ports were in the 50s and we had no rain (pretty unusual). So plan on bringing pieces you can layer, throw a rain poncho in the suitcase and you'll be ready for anything. Enjoy the Baltic!

I agree very unpredictable. Could be warm and sunny or cloudy and cool or rain, rain, rain. Which cruise line are you taking?
