Fancy seeing the solar eclipse at sea?
In 2026, Europe will experience its first total solar eclipse in 27 years, and we’ve found a pretty cool way to see it.
Marella has created a new, bespoke itinerary to celebrate the lunar phenomenon with the chance for passengers to experience the spectacle at sea.
As part of a seven-night cruise titled ‘Cosmopolitan Charms’, the famous Marella Discovery 2 will set sail from Palma, Majorca and will anchor at the following European destinations: Palamos (Spain), Propriano (France), Civitavecchia (for Rome in Italy), Salerno (for Pompeii and Amalfi in Italy), Palermo (Italy), and Sicily (Italy).
The cruise will then make its way back to Palma where you can catch a flight home.
During the all-inclusive cruise, eclipse-chasers will have the chance to see the magic happen on 12 August 2026 in Palamos, Spain. A total solar eclipse is rare and only occurs when the moon’s diameter is larger than the sun’s – in turn, blocking all direct sunlight. The last total solar eclipse in Europe was recorded on August 11, 1999.
This might be your only opportunity to see the total solar eclipse too, as only Russia, Greenland, Iceland, and certain parts of Spain and Portugal will lie in the path of totality. For instance, the UK will only witness a partial eclipse.
The solar phenomenon is not all you have to look forward to either. Marella Discovery 2 has plenty to keep passengers entertained whilst travelling between destinations, from an outdoor cinema and rock climbing wall to a mini-golf course.
There are also two pools, eight restaurants, and a spa. Every evening, guests can also sit down to a live performance in the Broadway Show Lounge. What more could you ask for?
See you on board!
