Set Sail for the Celestial: Enchanted Princess to Host Mediterranean Solar Eclipse Cruise 2026

Princess Cruises has introduced a new addition to its 2026 Total Solar Eclipse cruise lineup: a 14-day Mediterranean and Adriatic voyage aboard the Enchanted Princess. This special cruise is set to depart roundtrip from Civitavecchia (Rome, Italy) on August 4, 2026, allowing passengers the unique opportunity to witness a total solar eclipse while exploring a variety of captivating ports throughout Southern Europe.

The solar eclipse will occur on August 12, 2026, where guests can experience a totality lasting 2 minutes and 18 seconds from an ideal viewing location off the coast of Eastern Spain. Onboard the Enchanted Princess, passengers will have access to the top decks equipped with Princess eclipse viewing glasses to safely observe the event. Additionally, the cruise will feature astronomy expert lectures, themed refreshments, stargazing events, and trivia sessions about the solar system. Travelers are encouraged to bring their telescopes and don eclipse-themed attire for the occasion.

The itinerary for the Enchanted Princess encompasses stops at notable ports such as Naples, Kotor, Dubrovnik, Corfu, Messina, Palermo, Gibraltar, Alicante, and Barcelona.

This voyage complements two other eclipse-themed trips: one on the Sky Princess, leaving from Southampton, UK, on August 8, 2026, and another aboard the Sun Princess, featuring various itineraries from Barcelona and Athens (Piraeus).

Bookings for the Enchanted Princess’s Mediterranean cruise with a total solar eclipse are currently open through travel advisors, the Princess Cruises website, or by directly contacting the cruise line.
