You have the opportunity to experience something truly exceptional: a sea voyage aboard a historic traditional vessel, from whose deck you can witness an impressive 5/6 solar eclipse. As the Moon covers a large part of the Sun, the light around you will change. The sea provides a unique setting for the experience — and the traditional vessel is sure to make the journey atmospheric. A solar eclipse is best experienced in a place where your gaze can reach far into the distance.
The solar eclipse begins in Oulu at 7:52 p.m., reaches its maximum at around 8:45 p.m., and ends at 9:36 p.m. The Sun sets at 9:51 p.m., so the eclipse takes place beautifully in the evening just before sunset. M/s Oulu departs from the harbour at 7:30 p.m., and passengers should be on board no later than 7:15 p.m. The vessel is expected to return to Toppila harbour around ten o’clock.
Please note that participants must bring their own protective glasses intended for viewing a solar eclipse, or other appropriate solar protection. A solar eclipse must not be viewed with the naked eye at any stage.
You have the chance to take part in a natural light show aboard a traditional vessel. Come and enjoy a rare moment under the sky by the sea. This is an experience for lovers of the night sky, photographers, couples, and everyone who wants to experience something rare and memorable. Book your place in good time, as places are limited.
