Experience the Magic: Enchanted Princess to Host Mediterranean Solar Eclipse Cruise 2026

Princess Cruises has unveiled an exciting addition to its 2026 Total Solar Eclipse series—a 14-day Mediterranean and Adriatic cruise aboard the Enchanted Princess. This unique voyage, which departs from Rome (Civitavecchia, Italy) on August 4, 2026, allows passengers to experience a total solar eclipse while visiting several remarkable ports throughout Southern Europe.

The eclipse is set to occur on August 12, 2026, offering about 2 minutes and 18 seconds of totality, best viewed from a location off the coast of Eastern Spain. Guests will gather on the ship’s top decks, ready with Princess eclipse viewing glasses, to witness this celestial event. Onboard activities will include expert-led astronomy lectures, themed drinks, stargazing sessions, and trivia events about the solar system. Passengers are encouraged to bring their telescopes and don eclipse-themed attire.

During the cruise, the Enchanted Princess will stop at several destinations, including:

• Civitavecchia (Rome)
• Naples
• Kotor
• Dubrovnik
• Corfu
• Messina
• Palermo
• Gibraltar
• Alicante
• Barcelona

This cruise complements two other eclipse-focused departures: one on the Sky Princess from Southampton, UK, on August 8, 2026, and another on the Sun Princess, with various itineraries from Barcelona and Athens (Piraeus).

Bookings for the Enchanted Princess’s Total Solar Eclipse cruise are now available through travel advisors, the Princess Cruises website, or by contacting the cruise line directly.
