A new cruise through Patagonia and Antarctica will include a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the total solar eclipse this December.
The special edition, 17-night journey from Silversea Cruises and Classic Journeys will begin Nov. 25 with four days in Patagonia, visiting the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile.
Passengers will then travel to Ushuaia, Argentina, on the island of Tierra del Fuego, known as “the end of the world,” according to the cruise description.
