CHQ Travels Totality in the Mediterranean- 2026 Solar Eclipse Cruise

Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime Mediterranean cruise to witness the 2026 total solar eclipse alongside renowned astrophysicist Feryal Özel and Chautauqua Travels. This journey blends Chautauqua’s signature commitment to lifelong learning with an unforgettable event, offering expert insights and breathtaking natural beauty. Begin and end in the glamorous city of Nice, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its glimmering beaches and tree-lined promenade and enjoy ports of call in Barcelona and the sunny islands of Menorca and Mallorca, where optional shore excursions include walking tours and a stargazing experience at a planetarium.

When the sky darkens and the stars emerge on August 12, you’ll have one of the best vantage points in the world for experiencing the total solar eclipse — at sea, directly in the path of totality, with an unobstructed view of the moon as it passes between the Earth and the sun. Your western Mediterranean cruise aboard the elegant La Belle des Océans provides an ideal balance: an expert scientist who will offer fascinating lectures and insights into the astronomical phenomenon that occurs during an eclipse; the natural beauty and delicious cuisine of the Mediterranean; and the opportunity to experience one of nature’s most spectacular shows from the deck of a small expedition ship.
