A cruise tour themed around the total solar eclipse is buzzing.

The upcoming total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, generates significant global interest. With a surge of enthusiasm from tourists and astronomy enthusiasts—particularly those who missed the last eclipse—several travel companies are quickly putting together cruise tour packages for this celestial event.

On April 8 this year, millions gathered across the United States to observe a total solar eclipse that passed through several major cities for a total of four minutes. The upcoming eclipse will be visible from the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, Spain, and northeastern Portugal.

The Mallorca Sunset Eclipse, organized by Sky & Telescope, will occur from August 7 to 13, 2026. Princess Cruises, which completed its 2024 total solar eclipse tour program, is joining the lineup. Passengers will embark on August 8 and spend 14 days along the Spanish coast, enjoying the eclipse.

A travel industry insider noted, “Some may think it’s too early to plan travel packages, but our goal is to create various tour programs so that as many people as possible can experience the total solar eclipse.”
