The Great Eclipse.
Witness one of the longest total solar eclipses of the century — from the deck of Lumina, over the temples of the ancient Nile.
The day the sun goes dark over the Nile.
On 2 August 2027, the moon's shadow sweeps directly across Upper Egypt — and Lumina will be positioned on the river beneath the path of totality. For more than six minutes, day becomes night over four thousand years of temples. It is among the longest total eclipses that will be seen this century, and Egypt sits at its very heart.
The finest seat on Earth.
No crowds, no scramble for a viewpoint — just twenty-eight guests, the open sun deck, and an unobstructed horizon along the river. Our resident Egyptologists and a guest astronomer will guide the moment, from first contact to the diamond ring.
A special eclipse-week itinerary positions the ship precisely beneath totality, with the great temples of Luxor and Aswan on either side of the day the sky goes dark.
