Stand inside the moon's shadow as day turns to night in seconds. A private astronomer-led experience positions you at a prime totality site for the full celestial spectacle — corona, Baily's beads, and 360° sunset horizon.
What to expect
Your astronomer guide arrives before first contact to set up solar-filtered telescopes and walk you through what to watch for at each phase. As the moon fully covers the sun, the guide calls out each phenomenon — shadow bands, the diamond ring effect, the pearlescent corona — in real time. Totality lasts several precious minutes; the silence of the crowd, the sudden chill, and the stars appearing at midday are unforgettable. A champagne toast and eclipse debrief follow in a private lounge.
Good to know
Book well in advance — private astronomer-led groups cap at 10–12 guests. Confirm your ship's all-aboard time and allow 90 minutes buffer. Bring approved ISO eclipse glasses for partial phases; the guide supplies telescope filters.
