Witness a total eclipse over Greenland

Greenland, North America

HX Hurtigruten in Greenland

In August 2026, the Arctic sky will dim as the moon slides across the sun in the longest solar eclipse of the century — a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon few will ever witness again.

There’s no better vantage point than from the deck of a luxury expedition ship sailing past Greenland’s icy fjords and glittering icebergs.

Scientists onboard will guide you through the cosmic choreography unfolding above.

Between eclipse moments, explore remote Inuit villages, kayak among seals and spot polar bears on drifting ice.

It’s front-row access to one of nature’s rarest shows.

Turn your travel dreams into a reality, and start planning a trip to Greenland. Explore our latest holiday deals here, or speak to your local House of Travel friendly travel expert today and get ready to experience a cosmic front row.

Why I Love Travel

The places I see and the people I meet—travel truly is the best way to broaden the mind. It allows you to experience and learn from different cultures and walks of life. Life is short; travel often.


My Travel Tips

  • If you are always early, you are never late.
  • Pre-book as much as possible before departure and schedule rest days on longer trips.
  • Live courageously—100% of the opportunities you don’t take are missed.


My Top Three Favourite Destinations

Italy
The food, history, people, dramatic coastlines, and mountains—Italy deserves a place on everyone’s bucket list.


USA
With its extraordinary diversity of cultures and experiences, you could spend a lifetime exploring the United States and still not see it all.


Patagonia
Challenging to reach, but the dramatic landscapes that greet you make every moment of the journey worthwhile.

When I first started in the travel industry, I didn’t even have a passport! Fast forward a few months, and that had all changed – I hit the ground running on my first overseas adventure, and I haven’t stopped since. Whether it’s getting immersed in the local culture, or ticking off bucket list moments, travel has a unique magic that stays with you forever. 

I love using my own travel experience to bring that personal, unique touch to your dream holiday, making a seamless experience from the planning stages right through to your return home. From navigating the bustling metropolis of Hong Kong to exploring the USA on a road trip, there’s a world out there just waiting to be discovered. 

Let’s have a chat, and make your travel dreams a reality!
