New solar eclipse voyages!

A solar eclipse is extremely rare and only tends to happen between two and five times a year! This happens when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun which then casts a shadow on Earth as a result. This then partially blocks the sun's light creating an enchanting view of the sun. 

Some of our luxury partner cruise lines are making the most of this magical event and have created incredible itineraries allowing you to experience it first hand.

Seabourn

Seabourn has revealed two new solar eclipse cruises exploring the beautiful Mediterranean and Northern Europe in late summer 2026. This is because the moon is due to pass between the Earth and the Sun on the 12th of August. The luxurious Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Sojourn will be strategically placed allowing guests to view the rare sight perfectly! However it is important to note the viewing of this incredible event is highly reliant on a clear sky and a positive weather forecast.

Scenic

An incredible itinerary and destination holiday with the chance to see a solar eclipse sounds perfect right? Scenic plan to set sail from Longyearbyen to Reykjavik exploring the depths of Greenland, on a 14-night voyage. Not only will you have amazing views of the solar eclipse that is due to take place on the 4th of August but you can immerse yourself in the plethora of wildlife and historic charm of the traditional towns. I couldn’t think of a better destination to experience the solar eclipse.

HX Hurtigruten Expeditions

HX Hurtigruten Expeditions will also be exploring the same ports on an exclusive Greenland-intensive departing on the 2nd of August 2026. You will be experiencing the Solar Eclipse from the MS Spitsbergen, the small, sleek ship is perfect for this destination as it can bring guests closer to the enchanting scenery and allows guests to immerse themselves in the atmosphere.
