Going on a Baltic cruise in Aug.--What kind of clothes should I take?
 

My husband and I are trying to spend our childrens' inheritance and we have booked this fabulous cruise with "Gohagon & Company". It is a Univerity of Michigan tour (Go Blue!) to see the "great cities of the Baltic". The cities are: Stockholm, Hesinki, St. Petersburg, Tallinn, Riga, and Copenhagen. We have never been on a cruise and we are a conservative couple from a small town. We have done some travelling to Russia and Japan years ago when we were younger. We need some help knowing what to pack and how to dress.<BR><BR>Thanks! Dee

We were on a similar Princess cruise 2 years ago in July/August. We had beautiful weather most of the time - sunny and warm - but it was pure luck. The rest of the summer, before and after, was cold and rainy. Best bet is to take things you can layer (pants are fine,) a fleece jacket, rain poncho w/hood, and a long loose skirt in case you have a heat wave in St. Petersburg, where AC can be iffy. The cruise line should provide info about dress for dinner and shipboard activities. Also - this is an exhausting itinerary so rest up!
