Why this eclipse is different
On August 2, 2027, the Moon will cross the Sun above Luxor Temple for an astonishing 6 minutes and 22 seconds — the longest visible totality for the next 87 years.
Experience one of the most magical moments of our lifetimes in the land of the Pharaohs. This exclusive voyage blends a breathtaking natural phenomenon with the timeless wonders of Egypt, the country where we have gone deepest in the last 2 decades, offering an unparalleled adventure of discovery, wonder, and the sacred spectacular. Together with our favorite production partners of the last 2 decades, we are so excited to steward the most spiritual expedition we have ever dreamed into reality.
“The longest solar eclipse totality of the next century — above one of the most sacred sites in human history.”
Your festival Floating Home
The Crown Emperor
The entire world will soon learn about the Egypt Eclipse that is coming, but all the best beds and berths on the Nile River have long been reserved.
Insider Expeditions has partnered with several organizations over the last several years to plan what will be a floating festival, and the Nile Crown Emperor will be our star central headquarters and best place to sail with an exclusive group of just 200 invited guests and master facilitators.
Grand, gracious, and perfectly scaled for intimate discovery and group connection, the Crown Emperor will be the jewel of the fleet.

Enjoy content and connection as we begin to head down river, as the Nile flows North.
Visit the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, an architectural wonder built into the limestone cliffs at Deir el-Bahari. This multi-terraced temple honors Egypt's first female pharaoh, featuring elegant colonnades, detailed reliefs, and panoramic views of the Theban necropolis.
The eclipse will begin shortly after 11am, and our full afternoon is reserved for a prime viewing location of this once in a lifetime experience.
Our afternoon will be filled with our post-eclipse party and a celebratory dinner.
Then enjoy extensive tours of the legendary Karnak and Luxor Temples, two of Egypt's largest and best-preserved antiquities.

If you are going to Egypt, I would only travel with IE. Everything was extraordinary - the ship, food, guides, curated excursions, onboard content, and the service of their local team was world-class.
