The Perfect Viewpoint for the Eclipse

Guests will have the chance to enjoy the total solar eclipse from the perfect vantage point—the open sea. Under the expert guidance of Jonathan H. Ward, a renowned astronomer who has authored works on astrophotography and is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, guests will relish in the magic of the eclipse. Throughout the voyage, Ward will lead captivating lectures on the history of space exploration, interactive workshops, and stargazing sessions designed to enlighten guests about the mysteries of the cosmos.

James A. Rodriguez, President and CEO of Atlas Ocean Voyages, emphasizes the value of this journey: “The best place to experience a solar eclipse is at sea, where the horizon is unobstructed and the view is simply perfect,” he states.
