The seven-night Caribbean sailing on Oasis of the Seas will follow the eclipse path, finding the best view when the sun will be fully eclipsed by the moon. The eclipse itself takes place on August 21 2018, with the package covering August 20-27.
It will include eclipse-themed parties, lectures, interactive science for children and cosmic-themed refreshments. The actual event will take place amid a viewing party with a live concert by a “major headliner” who will be revealed at a later date.
Michael Bayley, Royal Caribbean president and chief executive said: “A total solar eclipse hasn’t crossed the entire US since 1918, and with many of our ships sailing the Caribbean along the projected path, the stars aligned.
"Oasis of the Seas will have the vantage point of the century and an unforgettable celebration out at sea that adventurers won’t want to miss.”
The eastern Caribbean cruise begins in Orlando and visits St. Maarten, St Thomas and Nassau.
