Creator's Key Takeaways

I've just traveled as a guest of Pando cruises on a remarkable voyage that sailed from Fremantle in Western Australia up to exmouth to witness a total solar eclipse

it was a remarkable experience and we traveled on board the Pacific Explorer which is the flagship and smaller ship in the piendo Australia Fleet

the main focus of the voyage was the eclipse itself which took place on Thursday the 20th of April

being able to go up there and anchor in exmouth Bay on board Pacific Explorer meant that we had a front row seat for one of the most amazing events that you can see here on Earth

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Wear sun viewing goggles when observing a solar eclipse to protect your eyes.
βœ“Consider a cruise to see an eclipse for a unique and front-row experience.
βœ“Book well in advance for eclipse events as land viewing can be crowded.

I travelled 1,275km aboard Pacific Explorer cruise ship to see a solar eclipse, and it was worth every second of the travel to witness this once in a lifetime event. #sponsored: I cruised as a guest of P&O Cruises (Australia). P&O provided the cruise, extra tariff restaurants and the Edge free of charge, but I have not been paid to make this video. --- Chapters: 00:00 Welcome 00:35 King of Eclipse Cruise 01:12 Exmouth Total Solar Eclipse 01:58 P&O Entertainment 02:37 Cruising to Exmouth 03:29 Getting the ship in the right place, at the right time! 03:57 The Eclipse 04:24 What is an Eclipse like? 05:03 Totality! 06:45 What was the cruise like? 07:10 Benefits of cruising 08:40 Outro 09:02 Bloopers / Out Takes -- Things I mentioned in the video: - The Big Cruise Podcast Eclipse Episode: https://thebigcruisepodcast.com/podcast/ep138-live-from-pacific-explorer-solar-eclipse-cruise/ - Our P&O Book: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/books/ - Image of Saturn: Public Domain License: https://bit.ly/3V1DPup - Get a "Seas the Day" tee (like mine) and support the channel: https://chrisframeofficial.teemill.com/ -- About this Eclipse: Ningaloo Eclipse 2023 When: Thursday, 20 April 2023 Time: From 10:05 am to 1:05 pm, (peak around 11:29 am) What: Total Solar Eclipse How: Special solar filters are needed for safe viewing A total solar eclipse is a unique and fully immersive astronomical event that draws tourists from around the world and commands international media attention.
