Solar Eclipse Cruise on the Magellan
15 – 27 March 2015
A total solar eclipse will occur on 20th March 2015 off the coast of the remote Faroe Islands. This
special maiden cruise aboard Magellan will take you there to witness this phenomenon and
hopefully, the amazing ‘solar corona’. This spectacular cruise will visit the Scottish Highlands,
Shetland and Faroe Islands plus Iceland – the ‘Land of Ice and Fire’, where it may be possible to view
the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights.
Join Eclipse of the Century on this unique cruise itinerary aboard Magellan cruising off the coast of
the Faroe Islands. Visit the Scottish Highlands from Invergordon, the Shetland and Faroe Islands and
Iceland’s capital of Reykjavik offering the chance to search for the spectacular Northern Lights. This
will be the last total solar eclipse visible in Europe until August 2026. To witness such an event is a
singularly memorable experience not to be missed.

Viewing Only
Your Ship The Magellan will carry about 1250 passengers accommodated in 726 cabins spanning nine passenger decks serviced by eight lifts. Her wide corridors and stairways and expansive deck areas with wood type decking in many areas exude a real feeling of spaciousness with a wide range of comfortable well appointed lounges and panoramic seating and observation areas ideally suited to our scenic cruise programme. Combining expansive, comfortable surroundings and friendly service with stylish entertainment and delicious cuisine, Magellan is the perfect choice for those looking for a greater range of on board facilities. However, she still retains a feel of intimacy and personal attention when compared with the ‘mega’ resort style ships built today. No climbing walls or ice-skating rinks and no kids!
Cabin Guide
Magellan is an extremely comfortable ocean cruise ship with a wide range of public areas and deck spaces in
which to relax. However, it is your cabin that should be the perfect place to unwind after a busy day
sightseeing ashore and your unobtrusive cabin steward will ensure that you enjoy a high degree of comfort
and service, whichever grade of accommodation you decide best suits your holiday requirements. There are
fifteen categories of cabins and suites, primarily graded according deck position and even in the most
economical cabins, the standard features are impressive.
