Highlights

Solar Eclipse

Discover the solar eclipse at sea

On Wednesday, 12th August 2026, Bolette will be perfectly placed just off the west coast of Iceland, so that you can experience the awe-inspiring phenomenon of a total solar eclipse. The moon will cover the sun for an extended period of totality here, and due to Bolette’s position within the ocean, you will be able to experience this unforgettable occurrence using specially provided glasses that will enable you to look at the sun. You will also be joined on board by experts from Go Stargazing, who will share their insights and advice about this spectacular and unique event.
