Mark your calendars for August 12, 2026, as Princess Cruises’ Sky Princess positions itself in northern Spain for an astronomical spectacle that’s not to be missed—a total solar eclipse with two minutes and 18 seconds of totality. Departing from Southampton on August 8, 2026, the 3,660-guest Sky Princess embarks on a 14-day Mediterranean odyssey, culminating in a front-row seat to the eclipse at sea.
President of Princess Cruises, John Padgett, shares the excitement, “The best way to witness a total solar eclipse is from the deck of a cruise ship. Our guests on the Discovery Princess and Emerald Princess were awestruck by the recent eclipse, and we’re thrilled to offer this unique experience again.”
Eclipse Sailing: A Journey of Discovery The Total Eclipse Sky Princess Voyage, available for booking on May 23, 2024, starts at $2,199 per person. Guests will enjoy a curated eclipse experience with Princess safety glasses for safe viewing, expert-led astronomy lectures, themed refreshments, stargazing sessions, and engaging solar system trivia.
A Mediterranean Tapestry of Culture and History The cruise from 8-22 August 2026 offers more than just celestial wonder. It’s a voyage through time and culture, visiting seven historic and vibrant ports:
Cherbourg, France: A port rich in art and history, home to the Ravalet Castle and the Cité de la Mer.
Bilbao, Spain, is the heart of Basque Country, surrounded by lush mountains and known for the iconic Guggenheim Museum.
Malaga, Spain: Picasso’s birthplace, a city where warm vacation vibes meet the spirit of Andalusia.
Cartagena, Spain: A town with a rich Roman legacy featuring ancient theatres and historic villas.
Gibraltar: A towering limestone ridge that stands as a British symbol on Spain’s southern coast.
Lisbon, Portugal: Europe’s westernmost capital, a city by the Atlantic with a storied past.
La Coruña, Spain: Known for the Tower of Hercules, this city offers panoramic coastal views.
Padgett encourages prompt booking, “Our recent eclipse cruises sold out quickly. We invite guests to secure their spot for this unforgettable journey when sales open on 23 May. It’s an experience that will linger in memory long after the journey ends.”
Embark on the Sky Princess and set a course for the stars—this Mediterranean cruise promises to be an adventure that transcends the ordinary, where the sky is not the limit but the beginning.
