Join astronomer, astrophotographer, aurora and eclipse-chaser Wil from Wil Photography for a once-in-a-lifetime cruise off the coast of Greenland to witness the total solar eclipse on 12 August 2026, which coincides with the spectacular Perseid meteor shower.
This unique event offers the rare chance to see and photograph shooting stars during the day and possibly even the Northern Lights during totality.
Guests will sail with Ambassador Cruise Lines on a special part-charter, enjoying all the comforts of a luxury cruise alongside exclusive access to Wil Photography and a team of expert astronomers.
Throughout the voyage, participants can attend talks and workshops on capturing the eclipse, meteors, and Iceland’s stunning scenery, as well as share unforgettable stargazing experiences on deck.
