Photos from the 2026 VACAYA Total Eclipse Cruise

We are All Ready for the Opening Party

The Great Lea Salonga, Was the First, But Far From the Only Performer To “Knock it Out of the Park” This Cruise.

We Found the Food in the Main Dining Room on the Celebrity Equinox to Generally Be Quite Good

Our First Port Was Ibiza, Spain, Which Can Be Chll Outide of the Popular Clubs

Our Ship Docked in Ibiza.

Hunky Cheyenne Jackson Again Entertained Us with His Talent and Presence

Our Next Port Was Tangier, Morocco Where We Saw Quaint Walkways

A Palace

And Other Moroccan Style Architeture

Fountains,

and Artwork

And Enjoyed Authentic Moroccan Dishes Complimented by Local Entertainment.

Back On Board, We Enjoyed One of Several T-Dances

One of the Hightlights of These Cruises Is Being Able To Reconnect With Dear Friends. Here Jonathan Enjoys Time with Mark and Dennis from Fort Lauderdale. They and Dave Met on a Cruise Over 15 Years Ago

The View of Lisbon We Had As We Arrived In Port

Our Next Port After Lisbon Was Porto Portugal, Where We Sampled Both The Famed Fortified Wine and the Local Architecture

Our Handsome Tour Guide Provided Insight on Local History

As Well as Gave Us Time to Explore and Experience The City’s Vistas

After Returning to the Ship, We Were Treated to the Comedy and Vocal Power of the UK’s La Voie

Due to Weather Issues, Some of the Night Parties Were Moved Inside But Remained Fun.

After Burning Off Calories Dancing There Were Plenty of Decadent and Faboulous Temptations. Some of Them Were Even Food 🙂

The Next and Final Port Was A Coruna, Spain. This Was a Magical Day Starting With a Tour to Famed Pilgrimage Destination Santiago de Compostela

and Its Impressive Cathedral

Believed to Be the Resting Place of Saint James

Back on the Ship, It Was Total Eclipse Night. The Entertainment Included a Performance by “Celine Dion” (aka Astrid Harris who plays Celine in the West End cast of “Titanique”). Her Heart Will Go On.

As Well as a Moving Tribute to Bonnie Tyler , the Originally Scheduled Headliner Who Tragically Passed Away This Year

As The Eclipse Approached Anticipation Grew

We Were Ready for the Eclipse

While Decked Out In our “Blackout” Party Costumes

All the Passengers Were Excited About the Eclipse Including Those Who Accessorized Better Than We Did

The Eclipse Did Not Disappoint

Every Moment Was Impressive

And Lived Up to the Hype.

Though None of the Photos We Took Do It Justice

After a Relaxing Day at Sea With Many Activities, We Enjoyed One of Several Speciality Dinners We Had Onboard, This One at the Entertaining and Tasty “Le Petit Chef”

We Then Attended VACAYA’s Famous Red Party With Orange and Yellow Accessories Because of This Year’s Broader Starburst Theme.

Dave and Jonathan Lived Up to the Final T-Dance Theme “She’s a Mess”!
