MEXICO & SEA OF CORTEZ • MARCH 30th – APRIL 13th, 2024

Experience the April 8 2024, Solar Eclipse in Offshore Mazatlán with Insight Cruises.

Unwind amidst the natural, recreational, and cultural landmarks of the Mexican Riviera. Join Sky & Telescope as we mingle contemporary astronomy and the many distinctive regional cultures of Mexico. Eclipse day will find us in the waters off Mazatlán, equipped with favorable skies and maneuverability.

Surround yourself with the blue skies and mountainous desert landscape of Baja California Sur while exploring its ecosystem — or gallery hopping! Up and down Mexico’s mainland coast, sports fishing, water sports, and professional-level beach lounging are revered local customs. Sail in to a renown food scene, and survey the shared and varied artisanal craft traditions in each region you visit.

While we’re at sea, you can attend our optional conference program to absorb the latest in contemporary astronomy in sessions with several professional astronomers and two astronauts including Jeff Hoffman, Ph.D. and Garrett Reisman, Ph.D.

Astronomer Dr. Natalie Batalha will curate the exoplanet aspects of the program as well as the latest from the Webb telescope.

Join the fun and immerse yourself in eclipse astronomy and Mexico’s legendary cultures and hospitality. When it’s time to capture eclipse memories, tap our expertise. Reserve now for best cabin selection as this sailing is guaranteed to sell out.
