Your Grand Voyage Highlights

Total Solar Eclipse - 12th August 2026

A total Solar Eclipse is quite rare and happens when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth and completely obscures the sun. Partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon only partially obscures the sun.

There are only between two and five solar eclipses a year and they are only visible in certain destinations.

History and Relativity of a Solar Eclipse 

In May 1919 pictures were taken by British mathematician and astronomer Sir Arthur Eddington of a total eclipse. The pictures focused on the stars near the sun and helped to prove Einstein’s theory of relativity as Eddington was able to show that gravity can bend light.

The longest recorded Solar Eclipse lasted for 6 minutes and 39 seconds.

In 1133 a Solar Eclipse coincided with the death of England’s King Henry I and caused chaos as it was seen as a bad omen.

The last Total Solar Eclipse in the UK was 11th August 1999 and on 8th April 2024, we can expect to see a Partial Solar Eclipse. Unfortunately, the UK will have to wait until 12th August 2026 to see the next Total Solar Eclipse.

The beauty of Iceland's capital city is astounding. Surrounded by waterfalls, volcanoes and glaciers, you'll experience nature in all its glory coupled with the history and culture of the city itself.

Edinburgh, Scotland (Overnight)

As the capital city of Scotland, Edinburgh manages to combine both ancient and modern in a uniquely Scottish atmosphere. Watched over by the imposing castle - the symbol of the city - Edinburgh combines medieval relics.
