Solar Eclipse at Sea with Wil
Join me, Wil Photography, and be part of a once-in-a-lifetime experience of being on a cruise ship where you'll be in prime position off the coast of Greenland to witness a truly incredible, must-see astronomical event; a total solar eclipse. Occurring 12th August 2026, the eclipse will also coincide with one of the best meteor showers in years - the Perseids, featuring hundreds of shooting stars!
Because of the solar eclipse, this could be an unbelievable opportunity for a rare chance to see, and capture, a shooting star during the day, with the potential of Northern Lights whilst in total solar eclipse!
This is an exciting part-charter with the award-winning Ambassador Cruise Lines where my guests will receive exclusive access to me and my team of expert Astronomers throughout the cruise. Alongside enjoying everything you’d expect from a cruise, including entertainment, leisure facilities, port stops with bookable excursions and so much more, you'll have exclusive access to talks and workshops delivered by myself and my team, where you'll learn how best to capture the eclipse, shooting stars, and the diverse landscapes of Iceland, as well as enjoying the magical moments together out on deck, helping you have the most incredible experience, at no extra cost.
As this is a part-charter, there are only a limited number of cabins available with the Wil Photography Experience, so don't miss out. To book with the Wil Photography experience you must book using the booking link below, which will take you to the Ambassador website to complete the booking. We look forward to seeing you on board our Astro Voyage with Ambassador.
