ATLAS OCEAN VOYAGES GUESTS EXPERIENCE RARE SOLAR ECLIPSE ACROSS THREE WORLD-CLASS YACHTS

Atlas Ocean Voyages said its guests on three expedition yachts experienced a total solar eclipse from sea, with viewing positions across the Mediterranean, Iceland and the North Atlantic. The company’s World Traveller, World Navigator and World Voyager gathered guests on deck for the event, after more than two years of planning. World Traveller viewed from off Palma de Mallorca while sailing toward Ibiza. World Navigator was positioned off Patreksfjörður, Iceland, and World Voyager sailed between Scoresby Sund and Ísafjörður. Atlas attributed the experience to onboard enrichment and astronomy programming leading up to totality. CEO James A. Rodriguez said the goal was placing guests at the right spot at the right time. A guest described previously missing totality due to weather, but seeing it aboard World Navigator.
