Witness the Solar Eclipse Aboard the Ritz-Carlton Evrima
From August 7 to 13, 2026, sail from Reykjavík through one of nature’s rarest spectacles, a solar eclipse, aboard Evrima, a Ritz-Carlton yacht designed for Arctic exploration and sophisticated comfort.
On August 12, 2026, the moon’s shadow will cross Iceland’s coast, bringing two minutes of totality to viewers positioned along the shore.
Witness this celestial phenomenon from the deck of Evrima, where the solar corona appears against the Arctic sky at 5:48 p.m. local time. The sun will hang 24 degrees above the western horizon, offering clear sightlines for observation and photography.
Before the eclipse, explore Iceland’s geological wonders. Discover why this island nation is known as “the Land of Fire and Ice” with guided visits to erupting geysers, thundering waterfalls, and volcanic formations.
The luxurious Evirma has just 149 suites. Return each evening to the refined comfort of your suite, where your private terrace overlooks the North Atlantic’s ever-changing waters. Enjoy Evrima’s multiple excellent restaurants and chic lounges, and rejuvenate yourself with restorative treatments at the Ritz-Carlton Spa.
