Princess Cruises is altering an itinerary onboard the Emerald Princess in April 2024 to offer cruisers sailing along the Mexican Riviera to view a total solar eclipse at sea, the last one that people are able to view in North America until 2044. The total solar eclipse will occur on Monday, April 8, 2024 and can last over 4 minutes. Guests onboard the itinerary will be given solar eclipse glasses, specially-themed drinks and appetizers, and can listen to astronomy and space exploration enthusiast Fred Cink as he guides the solar eclipse viewing. Princess Cruises has already sold out the 10-Day Mexican Riviera with Total Solar Eclipse itinerary of the Discovery Princess, and the new altered itinerary is a 15-day Panama Canal cruise onboard the Emerald Princess, a 3,080 passenger ship that will sail from Los Angeles on April 5, through the Panama Canal and across the Western Caribbean to Fort Lauderdale. “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.”During the eclipse, the ship will be positioned in the sea between Cabo San Lucas and Huatulco, Mexico. Rates now start at $1,699 per person.
