Collection Includes a Total Solar Eclipse aboard Seven Seas Grandeur® in 2027
MIAMI, September 9, 2025: Regent Seven Seas Cruises®, the world’s leading ultra luxury cruise line, has unveiled 5 captivating voyages sailing the Mediterranean and Northern Europe in 2026 and 2027 that will celebrate one of nature’s most awe-inspiring phenomena: a solar eclipse. The immersive, all-inclusive Solar Eclipse Voyage Collection, sailing aboard Seven Seas Grandeur®, Seven Seas Mariner®, Seven Seas Navigator®, and Seven Seas Voyager® will combine celestial wonder with unforgettable celebrations at sea, guided by leaders in astronomy, physics, and space exploration.
4 special sailings will offer guests incredible views of a solar eclipse, with visibility percentages ranging from approximately 80% to 93%, on August 12, 2026. A fifth sailing in 2027 will offer the opportunity to witness a total solar eclipse on August 2, 2027, as the path of totality passes through the Mediterranean.
Each sailing will feature fascinating enrichment programs, including thought-provoking presentations and intimate discussions with leading guest speakers such as NASA engineers and astronaut instructors, and a variety of curated activities such as stargazing sessions on deck.
“Our Solar Eclipse Voyage Collection offers luxury travelers a front-row seat to one of Earth’s most extraordinary natural events while enjoying the unrivaled Regent experience,” said Wes D’Silva, chief commercial officer, Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “These thoughtfully curated voyages embody Regent’s commitment to delivering immersive and unforgettable moments, from insightful talks by distinguished experts to celebratory gatherings delivered with Regent’s signature Heartfelt Hospitality.”
Unrivaled Solar Eclipse Celebrations
From the open pool deck of Regent’s elegant ships, discerning travelers will witness these unique events in luxurious comfort as they sip a solar eclipse-themed punch with world-renowned experts. With every detail carefully crafted - from gourmet cuisine to refined service - Regent has created an eclipse viewing environment that will be Unrivaled at Sea™.
During eclipse celebration hours, the Pool Grill will become the Solar Eclipse Dinner Grill, for a relaxed, dining option close to the action. After witnessing natural history, guests can toast the eclipse at celebratory deck parties, under the open sky, complete with live music from Regent’s talented musicians and vocalists.
As a commemorative touch, Regent‑branded solar glasses will be gifted to participants as a keepsake to remember the moment. Guests will also be treated to a special solar eclipse dessert in Compass Rose, and an eclipse‑inspired cocktail will be available in all bars throughout the sailing.
These culinary enhancements, together with Regent’s unmatched service, will ensure viewings are joyous, once-in-a-lifetime celebrations.
