Embark on a rare celestial journey aboard the Iceland to Greenland: Total Solar Eclipse, 17 Days, where you’ll glide across Arctic seas to witness a total solar eclipse like never before, experiencing the Moon’s shadow dance across the sky on August 12, 2026.
Your voyage begins in Reykjavik and takes you into the rugged beauty of West Iceland’s hidden charms, dramatic fjords, volcanic landscapes, and the ghostly stillness of the Vestfjords. From there, you’ll cross the Denmark Strait and enter the vast, frozen realm of Northeast Greenland National Park, cruising through the spectacular 110-km length of King Oscar Fjord.
Imagine yourself positioned in the path of totality, surrounded by Arctic silence, as the Moon obscures the Sun for what will be one of the longest durations of totality on Earth.
This isn’t just a trip—it’s a celestial celebration. From heli-flightseeing over Greenland’s remote wilderness to insightful talks from eclipse experts Michael Zeiler and David Baron, you’ll blend epic views with expert storytelling and science.
