6 Aug '26Cruise overview
The solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, will captivate observers worldwide as the Moon’s shadow passes over Spain, the eclipsed Sun hangs only a few degrees above the western horizon. One of the prime spots to witness this celestial event is at sea, where you’ll have an unobstructed view of the horizon as the eclipse reaches totality just before sunset. The eclipse will travel directly over Mallorca, providing a unique opportunity to see totality along the horizon. Explore Corsica and Sardinia, showcasing rustic pastas, regional sheep cheeses, and hearty red wines. Discover Alghero’s Catalan roots and Gothic architecture. In Bastia, explore the charming old town, stroll through the vibrant Vieux Port, and visit the picturesque Citadel for stunning views, while enjoying local delicacies at lively cafés and markets. Please Note: Viewing the total solar eclipse will depend on the weather and Windstar Cruises cannot guarantee the viewing conditions of the total solar eclipse. There is the possibility that passengers may not see the totality or may only see it for a brief period, due to factors that are out of our control.
