Explore Worldwide Unveils 2027 Solar Eclipse Tours

Small group adventure tour operator Explore Worldwide has announced three new itineraries to line up with the highly anticipated 2027 solar eclipse.

On August 2, 2027, a total solar eclipse will sweep across North Africa, offering nearly five minutes of totality, making it one of the longest in decades. Explore Worldwide is just the latest in a line of tour operators and cruise companies unveiling solar eclipse itineraries for 2027: The 2024 eclipse was a major travel event, and the 2027 celestial event promises to follow suit.

Explore Worldwide’s new tours position travelers in prime viewing spots, with some departures featuring expert astronomers to guide the experience. With departures in Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt, the trips also highlight the region’s rich culture and landscapes.

The three special departures are now open for booking for summer 2027.
