Virgin Voyages sets course for the stars with Solar Eclipse sailings

With astrotourism reaching new heights over recent years, Virgin Voyages is getting in on the star-studded demand with its first-ever Eclipse Voyages, joining the new series of Marvelous Voyages.

Due for departure in 2026, the Marvelous Voyages ranges blends the cruise line's most iconic and inspiring itineraries, with 12- and 15-night Eclipse Voyages penned in for August 2026.

Valiant Lady's solar eclipse sailing will include stops in Dublin, Glasgow and Reykjavik, while Scarlet Lady calls on the Amalfi Coast, Mallorca and Cannes.

The voyages align with the 2026 total solar eclipse, of which many of the best viewing points are at sea.

Six other sailings comprise the Marvelous Voyages range, including 12 new ports for the cruise line.

Virgin Voyages' COO, Michelle Bentubo, said, "We already sail to more than 100 international ports, but our itineraries are ever-evolving based on what our Sailors and travel partners are asking for.

"We’ve graduated from only offering short Caribbean escapes and weekender voyages to give our Sailors longer itinerary options up to 14 nights at more ports around the world. Our Marvelous Voyages, paired with Brilliant Lady’s epic itineraries across all four corners of the US, just shows the growth and strength of this monumental brand and the choice we are committed to offering."
