Madeira sunset dinner cruise with eclipse experience

A sunset at sea is a highlight in itself. Add an eclipse to the mix and the result is an evening you'll be talking about long after you're home. This exclusive boat cruise gives you front-row seats to a celestial event that doesn't come around often, with the open sea and Madeira's beautiful coastline as your backdrop. As the boat cruises offshore, there's time to cool off with a swim before dinner is served on board. Relax into the pace of the evening, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a fresh perspective on Madeira that many visitors never experience. We've thought of the details too, with eclipse viewing glasses included so you can enjoy the event safely. Whether you're on deck as the eclipse unfolds, this is an opportunity to witness a natural phenomenon that only comes around once in a while.
