Princess adds new 2026 solar eclipse voyage
Princess Cruises has tweaked one of its Europe itineraries to transform it into a solar eclipse cruise.
The August 2026 voyage on the appropriately named Sun Princess has been amended to take advantage of the solar eclipse.
It re-worked the itinerary departing Barcelona on August 8, 2026 to position the ship off the coast of southern Spain on August 12, where guest can view the two minutes and 18 seconds of totality.
Princess is offering seven to 21-night Mediterranean voyage options departing from several popular ports to see the eclipse.
These include a 21-night Best of the Mediterranean with Total Solar Eclipse, an Athens to Rome 14-night Mediterranean sailing and Barcelona to Rome seven-night Mediterranean cruise with Total Solar Eclipse
There are six different solar eclipse cruise options.
“Sun Princess offers a front-row seat for a total eclipse of the sun,” said John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises.
“Following the response to our solar eclipse voyages last year, we’re thrilled to have both Sky Princess and Sun Princess providing guests with the unique opportunity to experience this spectacle.”
The Sun Princess 2026 Total Eclipse Voyage is on sale now.
Sun Princess guests will gather on the top decks with Princess safety glasses for viewing, and enjoy lectures from astronomy experts, themed treats and drinks, and stargazing at night.
