d on November 14, 2012, we’ll gather on deck to experience a total eclipse of the Sun – from a location at sea where totality will be close to the maximum possible. Add in the advantage of unpacking only once in three weeks, and this may be the perfect way for true Sun worshippers to travel.
An Unforgettable Eclipse
For the 2012 solar eclipse, only a small section of the path of totality crosses land – in Australia after sunrise (and TravelQuest guests will be there to witness the event). Otherwise, the ideal viewing area is within a band stretching thousands of miles across the South Pacific.
Our one-of-a-kind cruise promises eclipse chasers an unforgettable experience under the Moon’s shadow. From your unique vantage point on Celebrity Millennium, you’ll witness totality for approximately 3 minutes and 28 seconds – just 30 seconds less than the absolute maximum.
The Good Life at Sea
During the 20-day voyage, you’ll also enjoy all the amenities of sophisticated contemporary cruising aboard Celebrity Millennium. Relax on deck or in your stylish suite or stateroom. Enjoy superb cuisine in globally inspired restaurants. Pamper yourself with a massage or a swim in the chic AquaSpa. And toast the good life at the ice-topped martini bar, sampling premium vodkas and caviar.
Whatever blend of shipboard experiences appeals to you, count on feeling rejuvenated in both body and spirit – surrounded by natural wonders on land, at sea, and in the Pacific skies. Imagine sipping a glass of your favorite wine (poured by a steward who knows your name), sinking your feet into the lush grass on the ship’s top deck, and watching the Sun set behind pink and orange clouds stretched across an endless horizon.
An Incredible Range of Experiences
Our ports of call in American Samoa, Fiji, and New Zealand offer you plenty of opportunities to follow your curiosity. We’ve arranged guided shore excursions to immerse you deep into the incredible natural beauty of these islands. As for your days at sea, our relaxing voyage is highlighted by crossings of the Equator and the International Date Line.
