Baltic cruise what currency to take??

Any tips on what currency to take on a Baltic cruise??

Also what sort of temperature should we expect in August? Thanks!

Not sure exactly which countries are on your itinerary, but I'll tell you what we did last July: flew into Stockholm 2 days prior to embarking and got SEK (Swedish Krona - and if I mix up these names please forgive me) at the airport. We did not buy rubles in St. Petersburg because our private tours were prepaid and we used credit card for incidentals.

Tallin (Estonia), Helsinki, Riga (Latvia) and Lithuania all use Euros, which we brought along from a previous trip.

We disembarked in Copenhagen and used credit cards until we got into town, at which time we withdrew a minimal amount of DKK (Danish krone) at the closest bank-connected ATM. Spent what was left over at the airport.

So, to summarize: we brought Euros and got SEK and DKK at ATMs.

As far as temperatures, expect anything. We had cold, windy rainy days in SPB but a week earlier it was in the 80s. go figure. Wear layers, as everyone will say.
