TOP REASONS TO BOOK A SOLAR ECLIPSE & NORTHERN LIGHTS CRUISES WITH HOLLAND AMERICA

JOURNEY UNDER THE STARS

Our 2026 Solar Eclipse and Northern Lights itineraries allow guests to unpack once and enjoy these dazzling natural phenomena by sea while we handle all the details.

NATURE’S LIGHT SHOWS UP CLOSE

We place guests directly in the path of totality during the August 2026 solar eclipse and bring them above the Arctic Circle for deck-side views of the northern lights.

FLEXIBLE ITINERARIES

Witness a total solar eclipse off the coast of Spain or Iceland or choose among three October 2026 Northern Lights itineraries departing from Rotterdam or Dover (London).

UNIQUE PORTS OF CALL

Discover Greenlandic traditions in Paamiut, sample handmade Italian orecchiette pasta in Bari, or watch for the aurora borealis in Alta, Norway (the “City of Northern Lights”).

ONBOARD EXPERTS

Guests will have the opportunity to learn more about the solar eclipse or northern lights from our onboard astronomers, astrophysics experts, and/or Native Sámi tribe members.
