Total Solar Eclipse Cruise 2026

[Nigella Bryant]

Hi all, just over 2yrs away is a relatively close to travel to, Total Solar Eclipse. I was looking at tours to observe this having originally booked with Astro Tours but cancelled due to probable cost. 

I've since found Cunard will be doing a cruise to observe this eclipse at a reasonable price for a weeks cruise. 

Sounds good to me, I nice cruise including the eclipse, very civilised, lol. 

Just thought other's might be interested. I've no association with Cunard so I won't get rich by highlighting the above, 😂

I certainly like your style, Nigella 👍🏻😊

I might have to dig out my observing dinner suit for the occasion 🤔

And why not do it in style if you're going to watch an eclipse Jeremy. Makes perfect sense to me 😂

Not as expensive as I thought! For the one I looked at you will be in Reykjavik for the eclipse, so greater scope  to travel somewhere with clear skies (although such a thing is even rarer in Iceland that it is in the UK).

The cruise will probably cost less than one night's accommodation in Iceland during the eclipse!

The one I'm thinking about is from Northern Spain. It's not that expensive for sure.

Maybe if I hit the lotto. That gives me time to become a millionaire.

Would love the chance for SWMBO and myself to meet some members of the SGL!

I will probably be visiting friends in Leon, Spain, which is also on the eclipse line. Not ideal as the sun will be low in the sky, but certainly a cheap option

This has been on my radar for at least two years now.

I am throwing a sleeping bag and mat in the work van. Two boxes containing cooking equipment and noodles, lots of.

Some photo kit as yet undecided and finding a remote place in northern Spain to experience totality.
