Twice in a generation, the moon draws its curtain fully across the sun, and those who wish to stand in that shadow must be willing to move toward it. The April 2024 eclipse has passed, and the next total solar eclipse arrives on August 12, 2026, tracing a path across Greenland, Iceland, Russia, and the southern edges of Portugal and Spain — a journey for Americans who will not see totality from home soil until the 2040s. The sky does not wait, and neither do the travelers who have learned to follow it.

U.S. consumers will face increased travel costs and accommodation expenses to witness the eclipse in international destinations.
