“Eclipses are stunning, wonderful events, but
the magic also comes with friends around the
globe and at TravelQuest, who come together in
exotic places every now and then to reconnect
under the shadow of the Moon.”
- Eclipse meteorologist and TravelQuest Trip Leader, Jay Anderson
The November
3, 2013, total solar eclipse over
sub-Saharan Africa offers an incredible
opportunity to observe an amazing
celestial event and experience the
wonders of Western Africa. Technically a hybrid eclipse (one that
is annular or total at different points
along the eclipse path), totality is
well underway by the time the shadow of
the Moon sweeps toward Africa.
TravelQuest, in cooperation with
Compagnie du Ponant Cruises, has created
an amazing solar eclipse cruise along
the west coast of Africa that includes
viewing the total eclipse of the Sun in
the vicinity of “Maximum Totality” of 1
minute and 40 seconds — the longest time
possible to stand in the Moon’s shadow
on November 3, 2013.
Our 14-day total solar eclipse
cruise
aboard the
brand new, 260-passenger mega-yacht
Ponant Cruises’ L’Austral begins in
Casablanca, Morocco; ends in Dakar,
Senegal; and includes ports of call in
Morocco, the Canary Islands, Senegal,
Gambia, and Guinea-Bissau.
Starting in Morocco we’ll cruise south
beside the largest desert on Earth — the
Sahara. Later we will sail alongside
tropical jungles, all the while calling
on amazing ports, alive with West
Africa’s culturally rich past and
present. Our days at sea will include
enrichment lectures on various topics
including the November 3rd total solar
eclipse, which we’ll witness in the
South Atlantic just north of the equator
— at the point of Maximum Totality.
Our “home away from home” during this
remarkable journey is the beautiful, new
L'Austral, one of the most
eco-friendly ships sailing today. Pure
and
elegant with a slender silhouette, this
private, state-of-the-art, mega-yacht
distinguishes herself from traditional cruising vessels with her
innovative design and advanced marine
technology.
Offering first-class quality service,
exquisite cuisine, and exceptional
“savoir faire” — all born of European
style and Ponant Cruises’ French
heritage — L’Austral offers a
unique cruise experience for the 2013
total eclipse of the Sun!
With extremely limited capacity combined
with exotic ports of call, this solar
eclipse cruise will sell quickly.
