2026 Solar Eclipse Tours – FAQ

At TravelQuest International, we specialize in solar eclipse travel, and it’s been at the heart of what we do for over two decades. For the 2026 eclipse, we’re offering meticulously curated itineraries in optimal viewing locations such as Spain, Iceland, and the Arctic. Our tours combine luxury accommodations, expert-guided astronomy experiences, and cultural immersion. We don’t just take you to the eclipse path—we ensure you’re there with the best possible viewing conditions, comfort, and scientific insight.

The 2026 total solar eclipse will be visible across the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, and Spain, and TravelQuest is offering exclusive experiences to witness this rare event. Our Spain Eclipse Tour brings you to the historic and scenic Burgos region of Castile and León, our Iceland tour immerses you in a truly unique landscape, and in Greenland, we’ll be viewing the eclipse from the stunning Scoresby Sund fjord in Greenland’s remote east. These locations were carefully chosen for their accessibility, cultural richness, and prime viewing potential – making your eclipse experience unforgettable.

We work with top astronomers and meteorologists to pinpoint viewing sites with the best chance of clear skies. Months and even years of careful planning go into each location, and on eclipse day, we stay mobile – ready to move and adapt in real time. Whether on a remote Spanish plateau or cruising through Greenland’s breathtaking fjords, our goal is to provide an unparalleled experience of totality under perfect skies.

Our tours are all-inclusive, covering premium accommodations, most meals, guided sightseeing, expert astronomy briefings, and exclusive access to private eclipse viewing locations. You’ll also receive eclipse viewing glasses, commemorative materials, and the personal attention of our experienced tour leaders. Airfare is not included unless specified, but we’re happy to assist with travel arrangements.

Absolutely. Whether it’s your first total solar eclipse or your tenth, our tours cater to all experience levels. Our astronomer is with the group throughout the entire tour, offering guidance, answering questions, and explaining the eclipse in real time. They can assist with telescopes or cameras if you bring them, though first-time viewers may prefer to simply enjoy the spectacle with their own eyes. Engaging pre-eclipse briefings ensure you know what to expect and how to observe safely, all while sharing the experience with fellow travelers who share a passion for the cosmos.

Our groups are intentionally kept small to mid-sized, ranging from 16 to just over 100 guests depending on the itinerary. This allows for a more personalized experience, better access to our guides, and a stronger sense of camaraderie among travelers. For larger groups, we divide into sub-groups of around 35, with staggered departure times and split activities whenever possible to ensure a more intimate experience. On expedition cruises, group size may vary based on vessel capacity, but we always prioritize delivering a premium, immersive adventure.

Eclipse tours in prime viewing locations – like Spain or Greenland – are in extremely high demand and can sell out months or even years in advance. For the 2026 eclipse, we strongly recommend booking early to secure your preferred itinerary and accommodations. Past tours have filled quickly, so reserve your spot to enjoy the eclipse from handpicked locations that offer unmatched views and unforgettable memories.

From the moment you book to the moment you disembark, our team will guide you every step of the way. We provide detailed pre-departure materials covering everything you need to know, including passports, visas, travel insurance, currency, tipping, packing tips, weather guidance, and cultural insights. We’re always available to answer your questions and ensure you feel fully prepared, so you can relax and focus on enjoying every moment of your journey.

We design our itineraries to suit a wide range of travelers and fitness levels. While some destinations, like Iceland or Greenland, may include moderate walking or uneven terrain, Spain can be quite hot during the eclipse, which may make the experience more physically demanding for some travelers.

To help you choose the trip that best fits your level of fitness, we rate each tour on a scale from 1 to 4, with 4 being extremely difficult. The 2026 eclipse tours to Greenland and Iceland are rated a 2, while Spain is rated a 3. If you have any questions about a tour’s suitability, please don’t hesitate to reach out to TravelQuest—we’re happy to help you find the best experience for you.

The night before the eclipse, our astronomer and/or eclipse meteorologist will review the weather prospects for the following day. If clouds are expected and our specialists identify a better viewing location, we will move the group to that alternate site, giving travelers the best possible chance to witness totality. While we can’t control the weather, we minimize risk through expert planning, including real-time weather tracking, mobile viewing strategies, and carefully selected locations with a historically high likelihood of clear skies.
