During a total solar eclipse, the Moon entirely covers the Sun, revealing the Sun's outer atmosphere, the corona, in a breathtaking display. The sky darkens and stars and planets become visible, creating an almost otherworldly atmosphere. Join us on a thrilling adventure to witness a total solar eclipse from our cruise ship, Ambition, in the most spectacular of settings. With its dramatic scenery and diverse natural attractions, Iceland is a paradise for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.

Beyond the eclipse, Iceland's rugged, windswept beauty provides an astonishing backdrop for the event. From spectacular glaciers, geysers, volcanoes, waterfalls, and coastal scenery, there is so much to see as we weave our way through the Faroe Islands and make our way to the eclipse viewing point off the coast of Greenland. From here we continue to Reykjavik, Seydisfjordur and Lerwick in our search for the Aurora Borealis.

This unique cruise will be accompanied by astronomer, astrophotographer and Sky at Night TV presenter Pete Lawrence. Of course, the main event and focus of this trip is the magnificent solar eclipse and on the day of this phenomenon, with Pete’s expert advice, we are taken into the path of ‘totality’, close to the centre line of the eclipse shadow track. This will be at a location chosen to give us our best chance of clear skies. Pete will give various presentations and advice during the cruise too and we also enjoy educational lectures from the knowledgeable expedition team.
