Solar Eclipse Cruise aboard The New Orleans

Experience the Solar Eclipse from the River

Join us for a very special evening cruise aboard The New Orleans as we watch one of nature’s most spectacular sights – a partial solar eclipse over the River Thames.

On Wednesday 12 August, the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun, covering around 90% of the Sun. It’s set to be the most significant solar eclipse visible from the UK since 1999, making it a truly memorable event.

Step aboard for a relaxing cruise through the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside as daylight takes on an eerie twilight glow. With our fully licensed bar open throughout the evening, it’s the perfect way to experience this rare celestial event with family and friends

For your safety, never look directly at the Sun. To help you experience the eclipse safely, every guest will receive a complimentary pair of ISO-certified solar eclipse viewing glasses on arrival. These specially designed glasses meet the internationally recognised ISO 12312-2 safety standard for direct solar viewing, allowing you to enjoy the eclipse safely. Ordinary sunglasses should never be used to look directly at the Sun.

Please note: The eclipse is a natural phenomenon and visibility is subject to weather conditions. While we can’t guarantee clear skies, guests will still enjoy a relaxing evening cruise along the beautiful River Thames with our fully licensed bar open throughout.
