Solar Eclipse cruises

In August 2026, experience one of nature’s most extraordinary spectacles—a total solar eclipse—on a carefully curated cruise with Fred. Olsen or Ambassador. On August 12th, the moon will align perfectly between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow across select parts of the Northern Hemisphere, including North America, Europe, and Greenland. This eclipse promises to be especially remarkable, with its path of totality sweeping across some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. From the icy vistas of Greenland to the rugged coastlines of Iceland and the sun-drenched shores of northern Spain, each destination along the eclipse’s path offers a once-in-a-lifetime viewing experience as day turns briefly to night.
