Solar Eclipse: Iceland & British Isles

15-NIGHT ROUND-TRIP SAILING FROM PORTSMOUTH

The stars have aligned and now is the time to book an Eclipse Voyage to the path of totality in Iceland or Ibiza to take in the remarkable Summer 2026 eclipse like never before. Both itineraries feature an exquisite lineup of tailored events, special guests, workshops, and experiences.

Awe-inspiring sites and electric Icelandic nights

Depart from Portsmouth and sail to Dublin, Glasgow, Liverpool and Belfast, followed by a relaxing two days at sea before a once-in-a-lifetime experience — viewing a total Solar Eclipse (at sea!) from the red hammock on your private balcony or from a lounge chair at The Dock, cocktail in hand. Then, sail to Sigluförður and Reykjavik followed by two days to Edinburgh and then back to Portsmouth.
