Emerald Princess Guests Will Be Among
the Few to View Last Major Total Solar Eclipse from North America until 2044
SANTA
CLARITA, Calif., April 5,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Princess Cruises is altering an
itinerary aboard Emerald Princess in April
2024 to give guests sailing the Mexican Riviera the rare
opportunity to experience a complete solar eclipse at sea.
On Monday, April 8, 2024, a total
solar eclipse lasting as long as 4 minutes 28 seconds will be
visible as the moon's shadow is cast across parts of the
North America, and a view at sea
may very well offer one of the best vantage points. The total
solar eclipse is one of the three remaining worldwide this decade,
and the one visible from North
America until 2044.
Princess has adjusted its 15-day ocean-to-ocean Panama Canal
cruise aboard Emerald Princess after selling out the 10-Day Mexican
Riviera cruise with Total Solar Eclipse on Discovery
Princess. During the voyage departing Los Angeles on April 5,
2024 sailing to Ft. Lauderdale into the Mexican Riviera,
through the Panama Canal and across the western Caribbean, the 3,080-passenger Emerald
Princess will catch the total solar eclipse on April 8 between Cabo
San Lucas and Huatulco,
Mexico. The itinerary also includes stops in San Juan del Sur Costa
Rica, Cartagena,
Grand Cayman and Ft. Lauderdale
and is on sale now with starting rates of $1,699 per person.
Guests will gather on the top decks and be given special
glasses they can wear to safely view the eclipse as astronomy and
space exploration enthusiast Fred
Cink helps guide their viewing experience. Guests will also
enjoy specially-themed drinks and bites during the coveted
event.
"This rare occurrence in the cosmos is sure to wow millions but
only the smallest fraction will ever experience this phenomenon via
the ocean aboard an amazing cruise ship," said John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises.
"Princess thrives on ensuring our guests have authentic experiences
that sometimes become once-in-a-lifetime moments."
