During spectacular solar eclipses, SeaDream Yacht Club itineraries and the universe align for once-in-a-lifetime intimate yachting experience.
In August 2026 and again in August 2027, the skies above the Mediterranean and Northern Europe will transform as a solar eclipse passes overhead. From the intimate vantage of SeaDream’s twin luxury yachts, guests will experience this remarkable phenomenon surrounded by endless horizons and the relaxed luxury of yachting. Whether sailing the storied coasts on a Mediterranean yacht cruise or exploring the dramatic fjords of Scandinavia, each small ship voyage is perfectly timed to witness the eclipse at sea.
Special onboard programming and unforgettable viewing opportunities will make the moment even more memorable. With open decks designed to host every guest in a single seating, uninterrupted views create a truly shared experience. As an all-inclusive yacht experience, every detail is seamlessly cared for. And for those who wish to carry the evening into the night, SeaDream’s signature Balinese Dream Beds provide the ultimate open-air retreat beneath the shifting skies, an unforgettable highlight of a luxury yacht cruise.
With the eclipse taking place in the evening and into dinner, SeaDream’s twin yachts provide the perfect vantage point from which to view this rare celestial event. SeaDream I & SeaDream II are the only small cruise ships that can seat all guests on an open deck in one single seating. For those who would like to turn a special evening into a spectacular night, guests can sleep outside on an open deck on SeaDream’s signature Balinese Dream Beds.

In addition to this rare celestial spectacle, historic cities and quaint seaside villages meet on your journey through Croatia, Montenegro, and Greece, bookended by ancient Venice and Athens. Journey along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, with time to explore the sunny seaside enclaves of Hvar, where your yacht overnights, and Kotor—dotted with private beaches and perfectly preserved Old Towns.

Norwegian Fjords & Solar Eclipse
Oslo, Norway to Bergen, Norway
Eclipse Viewing | Skagen, Denmark
August 11 – August 18, 2026
In August 2026, SeaDream II yachts the Norwegian Fjords, Scandinavia, and Norway. On the day of the eclipse, she will be in the area around Skagen, Denmark, world-renowned for its spectacular translucent light during the region's long summer hours, especially during the evening “blue hour” that merges the sea and sky. Skagen sits at the northernmost point of Denmark, tucked in a peninsula where the North Sea meets the Baltic Sea; on the day of the solar eclipse, the sun will be close to the horizon during the maximum phase of this celestial event.
Nowhere are there fjords to match the grandeur of those in Norway, where the clear water reflects the mountains like a mirror. Sail between soaring granite cliffs and spy mountainside farms, charming villages, and an array of wildlife along this stunning coastline. Call on Norway’s seaside cities—Oslo, Bergen, Ålesund—and explore secluded harbors, UNESCO World Heritage sites, and perfectly preserved Old Towns. Discover the quaint coastal towns of Norway’s Måløy, Kalvåg, and Olden. With more time to explore dramatic landscapes and quaint villages, with longer port calls under summer’s extended daylight hours—all best experienced from the perspective of your intimate SeaDream yacht.
