Overview
On our 11-day Arctic expedition witness the next total solar eclipse set for August 12, 2026, with optimal conditions of clear skies, extended totality, and a vast, picture-perfect glacial expanse as your backdrop. Cruise round-trip from Reykjavík, Iceland, and along Greenland’s less-traveled yet spectacular east coast aboard Exploris One. Guided by a professional astronomer with special glasses and telescopes, view the total solar eclipse from a prime, yet little-known, viewing location—along the Scoresby Sound, one of the world’s largest fjords systems—in eastern Greenland. Along the way on your cruise aboard Exploris One, accompany naturalist guides and expert lecturers on Zodiac excursions to see icebergs and glaciers up close and explore geological wonders unseen elsewhere on Earth. Meet residents of Inuit settlements for insights into local culture. In private island sanctuaries, observe Arctic animals like polar bears, musk oxen, and colonies of puffins in their natural habitats.
