Solar Eclipse - EPIC P&O Cruise into TOTALITY!

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.
