Discovery World Cruises has added a new exotic destination for its cruise season: 23◦ 42 south latitude, 130◦ 40’ west longitude.

Passengers at these coordinates in the South Pacific on 8 April will have the best vantage point to witness a rare hybrid solar eclipse occurring for the first time this century.

Discovery World cruises, a specialist in exploring faraway places, will take up to 650 passengers on this voyage to the South Pacific near Polynesia.

The 19-night cruise departs 2 April and will visit the Polynesian Islands and South America.

The price at $3,795 includes a two-night hotel stay in Lima. Bookings before 2 December save up to $400.
