The ultra-luxury cruise line unveils two new
voyages for viewing the 2026 total solar eclipse on Seabourn
Ovation and Seabourn Sojourn
SEATTLE, Sept. 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Seabourn, the
leader in ultra-luxury voyages and expedition travel, unveils two
new Solar Eclipse cruises exploring Northern Europe and the Mediterranean in late
summer 2026. On August 12, 2026, as
the moon passes between Earth and the sun to create a total solar
eclipse, both Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Sojourn
will be strategically aligned to grant guests a unique viewing
opportunity of the rare spectacle. Guests' eclipse viewing
experience may change based on weather or cloud coverage.
"The viewing of the solar eclipse from our ultra-luxury ships
will be an unforgettable 'Seabourn Moment' for everyone on board,"
said Natalya Leahy, president of
Seabourn. "Our team has curated a series of captivating, eclipse
themed Seabourn Conversations and experiences, turning this
celestial event into an extraordinary celebration for everyone on
board."
Two Eclipse Viewing Opportunities
According to the National Solar Observatory of the U.S.
National Science Foundation, the 2026 total eclipse will pass over
the Arctic Ocean, Greenland,
Iceland, the Atlantic,
Portugal, and Spain. Seabourn will strategically align
Seabourn Ovation and Seabourn Sojourn to give guests
a unique viewing opportunity of the cosmic phenomenon.
- Seabourn Ovation will sail a 14-day West Ireland Gems
& Solar Eclipse voyage, departing on August 8, 2026, from Dover, England, to Reykjavik, Iceland. The ship will visit unique
ports in Western Ireland,
including Galway and Killybegs, and position itself off the coast
of Ireland in the Atlantic Ocean
to view the eclipse. Seabourn will also host a special Seabourn
Conversations program featuring Jane A Green, Fellow of the Royal
Astronomical Society, to educate guests about the solar eclipse.
The two-week cruise is one of several that Seabourn Ovation
is scheduled to undertake in Northern
Europe in summer 2026.
- Guests can watch the total solar eclipse unfold as Seabourn
Sojourn explores the Mediterranean on the 10-Day Spanish
Gems & Solar Eclipse, sailing roundtrip from Barcelona on August 7,
2026, to Spanish Morocco, St. Tropez, and destinations along
the coast of Spain. The all-new
eclipse-themed voyage will find Seabourn Sojourn positioned
in the Balearic Sea off the coast of Spain as the eclipse commences, which will be
visible closer to the horizon near sunset. Seabourn will host a
special Seabourn Conversations program, featuring Dallas Campbell, a science presenter, author and
broadcaster who will educate guests about the solar eclipse.
The viewing experience may change based on weather or cloud
coverage.
Seabourn guests will experience the unparalleled, all-inclusive
'Seabourn Difference' on board the line's intimate ships with a
private yacht-like atmosphere. Both Seabourn Ovation and
Seabourn Sojourn are equipped with SpaceX's Starlink,
the leader in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology, to
provide greater connectivity for guests to share their experiences
with friends and family.
The 2026 solar eclipse cruises and the rest of the Europe 2026 season will be open for sale on
October 10, 2024. For more details
