After selling out the 10-Day Mexican Riviera itinerary, the cruise line decided to change its 15-day Panama Canal voyage on the Emerald Princess in April 2024 to take in the rare sight.
Passengers will gather on the top decks for the viewing and will be provided with special glasses as astronomy and space exploration enthusiast Fred Cink guides them through the experience. There will also be themed drinks and food during the event.
The journey will depart Los Angeles on April 5, 2024, and will catch the total solar eclipse on April 8 between Cabo San Lucas and Huatulco, Mexico.
The total solar eclipse, one of the three remaining in this decade, will last four minutes and 28 seconds. The eclipse will be visible as the moon’s shadow is cast across parts of North America.
The voyage also includes stops in San Juan del Sur Costa Rica, Cartagena, Grand Cayman and Fort Lauderdale.
