By the way, they are going to be cruising in the northern hemisphere this coming July, around the Baltic Sea area, and as far west as Iceland. Can somebody please give me an indication of the temperatures they might encounter.
Can't say about Iceland, but Poland is one of the countries around the Baltic Sea. In July, I'd expect between 20 and 23 degree Celsius during the day; 25 is considered "hot" and doesn't, usually, last very long. It would probably be cooler than that on the ship. And we get a lot of rain too, when it gets even cooler. Definitely layers, with more long sleeved shirts than short sleeved ones, a sweater or two, and at least one light-to-medium weight jacket for the evenings.
Of course, with the global warming, the short sleeved shirts cannot be eliminated entirely; the past few summers have had their "swelter points" of 30C, some of which lasted as long as a week...
