Oceania Cruises, one of the world’s leading culinary and destination focused cruise lines, will offer five solar eclipse cruises in 2026.
The solar eclipse will take place on August 12, 2026 with the five cruise ships being positioned off the shores of Ireland, Iceland, Portugal and the United Kingdom.
Each of the itineraries will navigate prime locations within the eclipse’s path. They will be as follows:
- Oceania Marina: Positioned in the path of 100% totality
- Oceania Insignia: Positioned in the path of 97% totality
- Oceania Sirena: Positioned in the path of 94% totality
- Two sailings on Oceania Vista: Positioned in the path of 93.03% totality
During the eclipse itself, guests will be invited to enjoy a series of vibrant deck parties, offering prime viewing for the main event, alongside celestial festivities and indulgent solar-themed culinary delights designed to celebrate the occasion.
There will be star-shaped sandwiches, half-moon shrimp empanadas with chimichurri sauce, eclipse-inspired passion fruit macarons, and more.
Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer at Oceania Cruises, gave the following statement about the solar eclipse cruises next year:
“There is no better way to witness the grandeur of a total solar eclipse than from the comfort of an Oceania Cruises ship, where our guests can enjoy this rare cosmic event at sea, away from city lights and distractions.
“With four ships now positioned within the eclipse path, we are delivering an unparalleled experience combining luxury, enrichment, and an awe-inspiring natural wonder, while maintaining our commitment to delivering The Finest Cuisine at Sea.”
