ECLIPSE VIEWING FROM MAZATLÁNDay 10: Monday (Eclipse Day)APRIL 8, 2024 • ARRIVES 09:30 A.M. DEPARTS 12:30 PM CRUISING ONLY
On this scenic cruising day, your ship will linger off the coast of Mazatlán in the path of the 2024 solar eclipse. Don your special eclipse shades, snag a spot on deck and get ready for a rare cosmic spectacle. Witness each phase of the eclipse from the initial contact, when the edge of the moon starts to cover the sun, to the second contact, when Baily’s Beads shimmer around the moon. Then totality, when the moon completely blocks the sun, and the earth is cast in shadow. Only those within the 2024 eclipse path are treated to this fleeting inky sky. You’ll experience totality far from light and noise. Animals and plants react to this sudden nightfall—birds stop chirping, flowers close, and fish start heading for their resting places. For lucky observers around Mazatlán, totality will last more than 4 minutes, but the memories will last a lifetime.
