Princess Cruises is altering an itinerary aboard Emerald Princess in APR 2024 to give guests the opportunity to see a complete solar eclipse at sea.
On 08APR, 2024, a total solar eclipse lasting up to 4 minutes and 28 seconds will be visible as the moon’s shadow is cast across parts of the North America, and will be highly visible at sea. The total solar eclipse is one of the three remaining worldwide this decade, and the last one visible from North America until 2044.
Princess has adjusted its 15-day Panama Canal cruise aboard Emerald Princess. During the voyage departing Los Angeles on 05APR, 2024 sailing to Fort Lauderdale through the Panama Canal and across the western Caribbean, the 3,080-passenger Emerald Princess will catch the total solar eclipse on 08APR between Cabo San Lucas and Huatulco, Mexico.
Guests can gather on the top decks and will be given special glasses they can wear to safely view the eclipse as astronomy and space exploration enthusiast Fred Cink helps guide them.
The itinerary also includes stops in San Juan del Sur Costa Rica, Cartagena, Grand Cayman and Ft. Lauderdale and is on sale now with starting rates at USD $1,699 per person, double occupancy.
