CRUISE passengers are likely to have some of the best vantage points for next week’s solar eclipse in North America – and some lucky guests aboard Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas will have the perfect soundtrack too.
The special “Total Eclipse Cruise” which departs from Orlando this weekend will position the ship in the optimal spot at sea for guests to witness the phenomenon on 21 Aug.
Making it particularly unique will be one of the guests – none other than 1980s pop star Bonnie Tyler (pictured), who will perform her perfectly named “Total Eclipse of the Heart” during the solar obscuration – supported by Joe Jonas’ band DNCE (CW 13 Jul) who will play the also highly appropriate ‘Cake by the Ocean’.
“Bonnie Tyler was a natural choice for this once-in-a-lifetime moment,” said Michael Bayley, Royal Caribbean president.
The Welsh superstar, who recently toured NZ, eastern Europe and South America, said she wasn’t concerned about seasickness, or being thrown off by the sun’s disappearance.
“I have a ship of my own,” she told TIME Magazine, adding “I go with the flow, darling. I’m not worried about things like that”.
