2026 Solar Eclipse: Princess Cruises to sail into totality
Weeks after a total solar eclipse crossed over a large swath of North America, Princess Cruises is already making plans for the next one.
The cruise line will be in the path of totality when the August 2026 solar eclipse crosses over a small sliver of Europe.
The Sky Princess will be off the coast of northern Spain on Aug. 12, 2026, as part of a 14-day Mediterranean cruise. Those on board the 3,660-guest cruise ship will experience more than two minutes of total darkness during the astronomical event of a lifetime.
The cruise line had two packed ships stationed off the coast of Mexico when the 2024 total solar eclipse passed over on April 8.
John Padgett, Princess Cruises president, said the best way to view an eclipse is at sea.
“Our guests who recently experienced this rare occurrence on Discovery Princess and Emerald Princess were simply blown away,” Padgett said. “We make it easy for guests to come aboard, relax and meet other eclipse enthusiasts. It’s truly a special opportunity.”
Tickets for the “Total Eclipse Sky Princess Voyage” go on sale May 23, with rates starting at $2,199 per person, taxes and port fees not included.
The cruise will depart from Southampton, England on Aug. 8, 2026 and will sail to Cherbourg, France; Bilbao and Cartagena, Spain; and Lisbon, Portugal — among other stops.
When the eclipse takes place, guests will be able to gather on the top decks of the massive ship to watch with safety glasses for viewing provided by the cruise line. The event will also feature lectures from astronomy experts, solar system trivia and themed treats and drinks, Princess said.
Padgett said the next eclipse cruise will be an experience to remember, but stressed that space on the ship is limited and the two recent eclipse cruises in Mexico were completely sold out.
