Oceanwide Expeditions reported that guests aboard its vessels Hondius and Plancius witnessed a total solar eclipse on 12 August 2026 while sailing in Scoresby Sund, Northeast Greenland. The ships positioned themselves in Øfjord, within the line of totality, as part of specially designed Northeast Greenland Solar Eclipse Explorer voyages timed to coincide with the celestial event, which reached totality around 17:35 local time.
Both sold-out voyages combined the eclipse viewing with the company's established late-season Greenland itineraries, which feature long hikes and extended shore excursions in the Scoresby Sund region. The event highlights how Oceanwide integrates unique astronomical and natural phenomena into its Arctic expedition offerings, giving travelers a rare opportunity to experience celestial events from a remote polar setting.
