2028 Australia Eclipse Experience and itinerary
Australia Eclipse Cruise 2028
Witness the 2028 Total Solar Eclipse from one of the most extraordinary viewing regions on Earth — Australia's remote Kimberley coast.
Why the 2028 eclipse is unrepeatable
On July 22, 2028, the moon's shadow will sweep across Australia, delivering a total solar eclipse with more than five minutes of totality over the Kimberley region of Western Australia — among the longest, darkest, and most remote viewings on Earth.
No other total eclipse this decade combines such extended totality with one of the world's last true wildernesses.
Fifteen nights beneath the path of totality
Sydney → Darwin → Kimberley Coast → Broome → Sydney
A luxury expedition voyage tracing Australia's wildest coastline — from Sydney Harbour north to Darwin, deep into the ochre cliffs and hidden inlets of the Kimberley, on to pearling-port Broome, and home along the Indian Ocean.
Eclipse day is positioned in the deepest part of totality, with the ship free to reposition for the clearest sky on Earth.
