Back in 2017, I drove up to Idaho to see the Great American Eclipse. Although the drive was long, it was well worth it to see.
On Wednesday, a total solar eclipse took place and cruise lines had special cruises for people to travel to areas of optimal views.
According to Travel Pulse:
On Wednesday, a total solar eclipse swept across portions of the Northern Hemisphere, as the Moon passed directly between Earth and the Sun and briefly blocked the Sun’s disk. The path of totality stretched from the Arctic through Greenland and Iceland and across Spain, with the surrounding regions experiencing a partial eclipse.
The event drew millions of skywatchers, including many who watched from cruise ships positioned along the eclipse’s path. With ships able to move into areas offering favorable views—and the open ocean providing an unobstructed horizon—cruising offered a particularly memorable way to experience the brief darkness of totality.
