In August 2026, Greenland charter guests will have the chance to experience one of the rarest celestial events on Earth from one of its most dramatic front-row seats: the untouched wilderness of Scoresby Sund.
Even more extraordinary, this expedition yacht charter aboard AQUA LARES will be guided by NASA astronaut, geologist, and oceanographer Dr. Kathy Sullivan, marking a truly unprecedented opportunity in the charter world.
Organised by EYOS Expeditions, specialists in remote and highly curated journeys, the voyage (running 11–18 August 2026) places charter guests directly beneath the path of totality in the planet’s largest fjord system.
Here, with no light pollution and some of the most imposing scenery found anywhere, the eclipse will unfold in a theatre of ice, shadow, and surreal twilight.
As the first woman to perform a spacewalk and the first to descend into the Mariana Trench, Dr. Sullivan brings an unmatched perspective on both outer space and the deep ocean.
During the charter on board 253.11ft (77.4m) superyacht rental AQUA LARES, she will share insights into the mechanics of the eclipse, planetary science, and the spirit of exploration, elevating this experience far beyond a typical superyacht adventure.
A professional photographer, seasoned in capturing celestial events in extreme environments, will also be on board to coach guests through safely and creatively recording the eclipse’s fleeting moments.
Originally launched as the Soviet icebreaker Legend, motor yacht charter AQUA LARES has been transformed into a 77.4-metre expedition yacht engineered for high-latitude cruising without compromising on comfort or aesthetics.
Her steel hull and ice-capable form speak to her powerful heritage, while extensive refits have introduced refined exterior spaces designed for observation, relaxation, and socialising.
Multiple outdoor decks provide sweeping vantage points for iceberg viewing, wildlife spotting, and, of course, the eclipse itself. These open-air areas include a helipad, versatile lounging spaces, and alfresco dining zones, all crafted to blend the thrill of expedition with contemporary yacht luxury.
Inside, luxury yacht rental AQUA LARES offers a sanctuary of comfort and style tailored for long-range adventures. Accommodating up to 30 charter guests across 15 cabins, including three beautifully appointed Owner’s Suites, her interiors are thoughtfully arranged to create warmth against the Arctic backdrop.
Superyacht AQUA LARES is ready for practically every adventure one could possibly imagine, making her a thrilling explorer yacht to charter.
Charter guests can unwind in the Balinese-inspired spa, complete with sauna, massage room, gym, and indoor Jacuzzi, an indulgent contrast to the icy environment outside.
The charter yacht also features a plush 14-seat cinema, a whisky bar, and a cigar lounge, creating luxurious retreats for evenings onboard.
A wide selection of expedition-ready toys, tenders, kayaks, and dive equipment ensures guests can immerse themselves in Greenland’s remote landscapes between the astronomical spectacle and onboard lectures.
With the combination of a total solar eclipse, the monumental landscapes of Scoresby Sund, first-hand scientific interpretation from a NASA astronaut, and the comfort of one of the world’s most capable explorer yachts, the forthcoming 2026 AQUA LARES expedition stands apart as a truly remarkable charter offering.
