GSPG Posted June 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Leaving from Southampton, I am going on a two week med cruise as far as Italy in a couple of weeks time. Looking at temps for certain stops, places like Cadiz can get to 40c plus. On a nice day on our East coast it can be 23c, but a few miles inland rise to 32c. While out at sea, will it be a little cooler on the ship in the Med than on land? Or just a heat fest, it won’t make any difference?

Inside there is air conditioning so it will certainly be cooler and depending on the setting could even be cold in some areas. Outside because the ship is moving there will be some degree of breeze on open decks but in some of the sheltered spots out of the breeze and it can get very hot if you are in full sun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSPG Posted June 25, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Just thinking about it, the Med will be much warmer than our North Sea in my example, so suggests there won’t be too much relief out at sea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOQ Posted June 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2023 The advantage of holidaying on a ship is (theoretically) however hot it is outside the interior of the ship is comfortably air conditioned. Also (hopefully) there might be a cooling sea breeze while outside when on deck, but be careful of sunburn. It's always cooler at sea than on land.

snaefell Posted June 28, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Out on Deck in the Med last month on Arcadia it could vary hugely in various areas,if you were in the sun but out of the breeze it could be pretty hot,forward on Deck 11 where it has glass screens it was like a furnace!
