Australia Eclipse Cruise 2028

NEW TOUR OFFER — SURE TO SELL OUT!

When dawn breaks over Australia on July 22, 2028, it’ll be the beginning of a special day “Down Under.” By mid-morning the Sun, Moon, and Earth will align to create a total solar eclipse. The path of totality crosses much of this island continent, starting with the Kimberley region along the northern coast, then zipping over the Outback well north of Alice Springs, and finally diving directly across Sydney.

Sky & Telescope’s travel team has been working since 2023 to secure the best possible arrangements for viewing this long-awaited celestial event, and after two years of planning we’re proud to announce that a very special eclipse adventure awaits you there. We’ve secured the exclusive charter rights to Heritage Adventurer, a 160-passenger expedition ship that offers a premium cruise experience combined with richly rewarding introductions to the region’s marine life, geology, and indigenous culture.

The Kimberley region is best explored by expedition vessel, and our chartered ship, Heritage Adventurer, will allow an up-close and intimate exploration and immersion of this rugged wilderness. Even better, the ship will place our group near the eclipse’s centerline so we can savor 5^m 10^s of totality — the maximum possible. And the ship’s 14 Zodiac craft will allow photographers and others to witness the event from a sandy alcove along the shoreline.

And of course, because the eclipse occurs at new Moon, our remote location at latitudes near 15° south will provide ample opportunity to explore the celestial treasures of the southern sky — the Southern Cross, Carina Nebula, Omega Centauri, the Milky Way’s richest star clouds, and so much more.

HIGHLIGHTS OF S&T's AUSTRALIA Eclipse Cruise 2028

Fantastic Eclipse, Great Weather Prospects
Australia is curiously favored with five total solar eclipses between 2023 and 2038. However, on July 22, 2028, the Moon will completely cover the Sun for up to 5^m 10^s, a luxuriously extended totality that ranks among the dozen longest-duration total solar eclipses in the 21st century. The 143-mile-wide path makes a long run across Australia, ultimately plunging all of Sydney in darkness. As the plot above by meteorologist Jay Anderson shows, the interior of Australia and especially its northwestern coast statistically have a nearly 100% chance of clear skies on eclipse day — and a yellow asterisk marks the planned position of our ship on eclipse day.

Heritage Adventurer
Often called the “Grande Dame of Expedition Cruising,” Heritage Adventurer is a true expedition vessel. Extensively retrofit in 2022, it now boasts 237-square-foot cabins on four decks — stylish, sophisticated accommodations that are considerably more spacious than you’ll typically find on cruise ships. Once aboard, you’ll enjoy visiting the captain and crew in the bridge and dining on gourmet fare from leading chefs. Watch your adventure unfold from numerous spectacular indoor and outdoor viewing locations, aided by a team of world-renowned naturalists, botanists, historians and of course a Sky & Telescope expert. The ship’s fleet of 14 Zodiacs will carry you to breathtakingly close approaches to the Kimberley’s many natural wonders — and provide shore access both for the eclipse and for stargazing.

Sydney
The idyllic lifestyle, friendly locals, and drop-dead natural beauty of this approachable metropolis and its attractions explain why Sydney tops so many travelers’ wish lists. The famed harbor is home to the iconic Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. You can explore the harbor, get a behind-the-scenes tour of the Opera House, and climb the bridge — with time to spare for people-watching at a waterfront café.

Darwin
Australia’s “northern gateway” is famous for its glittering harbor, balmy nights, colorful characters, and crocodiles. You’ll also find rich Aboriginal cultures here, evident through the vibrant art that fills the city’s galleries, museums and streetscapes. Darwin’s tropical location can make it quite hot and rainy during southern summer, but we’ll be visiting in mid-winter, with dry, pleasant temperatures. The city’s proximity to Asia means you’ll also find strong Asian influences, especially in the energetic food scene and buzzing night markets.

Day 0  (Wednesday, July 12) — Departure
Depart the U.S. on an overnight flight to Sydney. You’ll cross the International Dateline and “lose” July 13th, landing in Sydney on the morning of July 14th. (meals aloft)

Day 1  (Friday, July 14) — Arrival in Sydney
Upon arrival, you’ll transfer to the Four Seasons hotel, where you’ll have early check-in privileges. (Harbour-view upgrade available!) Then savor some free time to relax or to explore the surrounding Circular Quay area — a popular neighborhood with walkways, pedestrian malls, parks, and restaurants. In the afternoon, enjoy a walking tour of central Sydney and the Royal Botanic Gardens, culminating with a welcome reception at historic Sydney Observatory.  Four Seasons Sydney (cocktail reception)

Day 2  (Saturday, July 15) — Sydney
Today offers a chance to really explore this amazing city of 5½ million. Sydney is the capital of New South Wales, and evidence suggests that Aboriginal Australians inhabited this region at least 30,000 years ago. Our group’s explorations will include a guided city tour including the iconic Sydney Opera House, followed by an evening Sydney Harbour dinner cruise.   Four Seasons Sydney  (B, l, D)

Day 3  (Sunday, July 16) — Sydney to Darwin
After an early breakfast and check-out, you’ll transfer to Sydney’s domestic airport for a flight to Darwin. After arrival there, our group will transfer to our centrally located downtown hotel. In the afternoon, we’ll take a tour of this colorful city, followed by an outdoor dinner. Hilton Darwin  (B, D)

Day 4  (Monday, July 17) — Cruise Begins (Darwin)
You’ll have some free time in the morning to explore Darwin’s popular waterfront and markets on your own. In mid-afternoon, we’ll transfer to the ship, where the captain and expedition team will be waiting to greet you. After getting to your spacious cabin, you’ll have time before dinner to settle in and familiarize yourself with the ship. We’ll also gather to meet the expedition team and review our voyage plans. Then we’ll sail away on what promises to be an unforgettable eclipse adventure. Heritage Adventurer  (B, D)

Day 5  (Tuesday, July 18) — King George River
Our approach to King George River gorge is not to be missed, because its towering 2-billion-year-old sandstone cliffs dwarf our vessel. (We will have Zodiac inflatable exploration boats at our disposal during the voyage.) As your Zodiac navigates this scenic stretch of water and cruises deeper into the gorge, you’ll see the ever-changing eroded rock faces and marvel at the untouched beauty of this iconic waterway. When you reach the end of the gorge, nothing will prepare you for the grand spectacle of the King George River plummeting 250 feet in a single drop over the edge of towering ancient red sandstone cliffs into tidal waters.  Heritage Adventurer  (B, L, D)

Day 6  (Wednesday, July 19) — Vansittart Bay
Beautiful islands, pristine white beaches lapped by turquoise waters, and secluded coves abound in Vansittart Bay, which is also the location of a historical World War II site and incredible ancient Aboriginal rock art. This striking, naturally protected bay is framed by scattered jagged sandstone monoliths and the final resting place of the preserved skeleton of a Douglas DC-3 aircraft that crash-landed onto the salt pan after running out of fuel. On Jar Island, you’ll see ancient Aboriginal Gwion Gwion rock art set among fascinating caves and formations and estimated to be up to 40,000 years old. Heritage Adventurer  (B, L, D)

Day 7  (Thursday, July 20) — Ashmore Reef
Closer to Indonesia than mainland Australia, Ashmore Reef is Australia’s most remote marine park. Its three tropical islands are surrounded by coral reefs and home to more than 500 species of fish, 225 reef-building coral species, and 100,000 nesting sea birds. Access to Ashmore Reef is strictly controlled, and your visit will comply with Australian Government regulations. However, there may be an opportunity for a Zodiac cruise near West Island. Heritage Adventurer  (B, L, D)

Day 8  (Friday, July 21) — Swift Bay
Our Kimberley voyage continues as we navigate the scattered islands of Bonaparte Archipelago, which stretches almost 100 miles along the dramatic coastline. Today’s destination is the remote and unspoiled T-shaped inlet of Swift Bay with its sandy beaches, ominous sea-worn caves, and mangroves. As you get a closer look on a Zodiac cruise, don’t be surprised if you spot salt-water crocodiles! On land you’ll explore a number of rock-art galleries that display the unique Wandjina and Gwion Gwion styles, denoting the region’s cultural importance. Late today, the captain will navigate to the best-possible location for observing tomorrow’s eclipse. Heritage Adventurer  (B, L, D)

Day 9 (Saturday, July 22) — Eclipse Day!
Having adjusting our clocks to Australian Western Standard Time (8 hours ahead of Universal Time), we’ll prepare for the day’s big event! Zodiacs will carry you to shore if you prefer to view the eclipse from there. The partial eclipse begins (C1) at 9:18 a.m. local time, with the Sun already high in the northeast. Totality extends from 10:48 to 10:53, with the Sun 53° above the north-northeastern horizon. The celestial spectacle concludes with last contact (C4) at 12:24 p.m. Then it’s time for lunch and the beginning of our post-eclipse celebration! Heritage Adventurer (B, L, D)

Day 10 (Sunday, July 23) — Bigge Island, Careening Bay
Today we explore the sites of ancient Aboriginal rock art on Bigge Island and the historic Mermaid Boab Tree, which bears the carved name of the HMC Mermaid — a ship that was beached there while undergoing emergency repairs in 1820. Now measuring some 10 feet wide, the tree offers a glimpse into Australian colonial history (an old Makassan Islamic prayer alcove can be found behind it).  While in the area, we will also explore the otherworldly sandstone coastline of York Sound with its incredible sea caves and fascinating wildlife. Heritage Adventurer  (B, L, D)

Day 11  (Monday, July 24) — Hunter River
This winding, 20-mile stretch of water is widely considered to be one of the highlights of the Kimberley coast. The scenic wonderland is dotted with islands and flanked with wildlife-filled rivers, savanna woodlands, patches of lush rainforest, and soaring red cliffs. At the river’s mouth, a 600-foot-high sandstone escarpment named Kampamantiya keeps silent sentry, welcoming us into this otherworldly realm we will be exploring today. Fed by two 90-metre waterfalls, the Hunter and the Donkin, Hunter River is home to one of the largest and most pristine mangrove systems in the world. As your Zodiac cruises along the coastline, watch white-bellied sea eagles, osprey, great-billed Heron, eastern reef egrets, red-headed honeyeaters, blue-spotted mudskippers, fiddler crabs and more. You’ll have the opportunity to experience the grandeur of the iconic four-tiered Mitchell Falls on a thrilling helicopter flight, subject to availability (optional, cost extra).  Heritage Adventurer  (B, L, D)

Day 12 (Tuesday, July 25) — Collier Bay
Located at the eastern end of the Buccaneer Archipelago — and accessible only by sea — Collier Bay is crammed with ancient land- and sea-scapes. At Talbot Bay, we’ll experience the massive tidal movements that have shaped the landscape, most famously at the world’s only Horizontal Falls — once described by naturalist Sir David Attenborough as “one of the greatest wonders of the natural world.” At nearby Cyclone Creek, you’ll explore the twisted ancient seabed and watch for inquisitive tawny nurse sharks among the incredible marine life on display. If the timing is right, you’ll witness another tidal spectacle at enormous Montgomery Reef, which seems to “rise” out of the ocean as the tide falls, creating torrents and waterfalls up to 10 feet high. Heritage Adventurer  (B, L, D)

Day 13 (Wednesday, July 26) — Lacepede Islands
Today we explore the incredible wildlife reserve and birding paradise of the Lacepede Islands. These four unassuming islands boast what is thought to be the world’s largest breeding colony of brown boobies — up to 18,000 pairs! Elsewhere, low-lying spits of coarse sand and coral rubble are also important breeding grounds for green turtles. This is also home to roseate terns, masked boobies, Australian pelicans, and a vast array of other birds. While landings are not permitted, we plan to explore the islands’ incredible shores by Zodiac and, if lucky, we may also see some humpback whales during their northward migration. Heritage Adventurer  (B, L, D)

Day 14 (Thursday, July 27) — Cruise Ends; Broome to Sydney
This morning we arrive in Broome, known as Rubibi by the local Yawuru peoples. Formerly a wild frontier town and major center for the pearling industry, it’s now a relaxed tropical beach resort. After breakfast, you’ll disembark and take a complimentary coach to Broome International Airport. From there, you’ll fly back to Sydney and enjoy a comfortable overnight stay before flying back to your home. Rydges Hotel Sydney Airport  (B)

Day 15 (Friday, July 28) — Depart for Home
After breakfast and check-out, walk the short distance to your check-in desk at the Sydney International and prepare for your flight home. Flying eastward across the Pacific, you’ll once again cross the International Dateline — but this time you’ll gain a day, arriving in North America on the same date that you left Australia! (B)
