Total solar eclipse between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic


Cruise overview
This cruise, will cultivate the art of peaceful travel as well as a family spirit, thanks to its customised activities on board and on shore for youngsters*, with the Kid Explorers Club.
In the season that sees the sun setting the horizon ablaze, set off towards the unexpected and embark on an exceptional journey along Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines, a subtle mix of cultures, savours and age-old traditions, to seek out a rare phenomenon offered by the sky: the total solar eclipse. Throughout your break, discover the secrets of this exceptional event thanks to the presence of Joe Rao, meteorologist and eclipse chaser, and Serge Brunier, scientific journalist, author, photographer and eclipse chaser. On this journey, feel the vibrant pulse of Malaga, stroll through the elegant avenues of Marbella, discover the Andalusian soul of Cadiz, gaze upon the cliffs of Lagos and wander the charming streets of Figueira da Foz. Finally, off the Iberian shores, admire — if weather conditions allow* — the captivating spectacle of this rare phenomenon: a total solar eclipse. Let yourself be mesmerised by this suspended moment, when the Moon veils the Sun and reveals its luminous corona.
*We are privileged guests in these places, where we are at the mercy of the weather conditions. As we cannot control the weather conditions, we cannot guarantee the observation of this total solar eclipse. Nevertheless, the Captain will have room for maneuver and will be able to sail towards the most suitable places on the eclipse’s trajectory.
Itinerary
Lisbon
Set on seven hills on the banks of the River Tagus, Lisbon has been the capital of Portugal since the 13th century. It is a city famous for its majestic architecture, old wooden trams, Moorish features and more than twenty centuries of history. Following disastrous earthquakes in the 18th century, Lisbon was rebuilt by the Marques de Pombal who created an elegant city with wide boulevards and a great riverfront and square, Praça do Comércio. Today there are distinct modern and ancient sections, combining great shopping with culture and sightseeing in the Old Town, built on the city’s terraced hillsides. The distance between the ship and your tour vehicle may vary. This distance is not included in the excursion grades.
