On August 12, 2026, a total solar eclipse will occur, with the path of totality passing over the Arctic Ocean, Greenland, Iceland, Atlantic Ocean, Portugal and northern Spain.
What better way to view a solar eclipse than on the wide-open seas from the luxury of a cruise ship? The open ocean provides an unobstructed view of the sky, free from urban light pollution and obstructions, allowing passengers to fully appreciate the gradual darkening of the sun and the changing colors of the sky.
Additionally, cruise ships often organize additional programming such as lectures and themed activities to highlight this rare astronomical event.
