Norway and Spitzbergen in June/July?

Question

We are going cruising and need to know what temperatures to expect at this time of year.

Answer 1

I agree with Lew. It can get very cold.

I went on 2 cruises in a row to the Nord Kapp and the first the weather was great so the temps were ok.

On the second it was raining, so it was very cold indeed, the day of the Nord Kapp excursion it was -10C.

But in  10 years working on ships it was my all time favorite destination. Have fun.

Answer 2

usually around the 70s?have a great time

Answer 3

I have done the North Cape and the Norwegian Fjords cruise in July and the temperatures are changeable. On the all the days at sea, it was swimsuit and sunbathing weather. No clouds and really hot, in the low 70's.

The weather was in the main very good, but at some stops it rained quite heavily, and at a few stops it was decidedly chilly. The best thing to do when cruising around Norway is to be prepared for the worst. Be prepared to dress in layers and have a light weatherproof jacket or/and an umbrella just in case.

Enjoy your cruise, the scenery is stunning.

Answer 4

The weather could be just about anything from cold to hot. Expect that rainy and foggy days could be preatty cold but not freazy. Also expect heavy waves from times to times. But the weather cold be great but  not as warm as, say the carrebian. So pack for a little bit of everything and bring an umbrella, or a raincoat. Johan.
