Following the event the Islands are planning a full celebration of local cuisine and culture.
While the eclipse will most certainly be a memorable if the often elusive Aurora Borealis does make a appearance than ORIANA's passenger will certainly never forget a look at mother nature's more mysterious phenomena.
It could be said that once more in her 20th year ORIANA is following in her famous mother CANBERRA's wake as she too cruised "into darkness" in 1973 on a special cruise to the coast of Africa to witness the longest solar eclipse of modern times.
Details of the cruise can be found here
