Experience the wonder of a solar eclipse in Iceland, along with the country's dramatic landscapes, geothermal wonders, and vibrant culture. Explore Reykjavik, visit natural hot springs, and marvel at the beauty of Iceland under the shadow of the eclipse.
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 at one of the remotest location in the world. From here we continue to Reykjavik, Seydisfjordur and Lerwick in our search for the Aurora Borealis.
