eclipse 2008

Partial eclipses of the sun pale in comparison to the overwhelming spectacle of a total solar eclipse! On Friday, 01 August 2008, a total eclipse of the sun will be visible from within a narrow corridor, which traverses half the Earth. Come to Novosibirsk, Russia and witness the incredible Solar Eclipse with us! We offer you a choice of 3 eclipse itineraries - from our short 4 day Russian Sun Chaser tour to a complete Russia & Trans-Siberian experience on our 11 day Big Russian Eclipse tour, our 7 day Tsars of the Sun, plus a 6 day Siberian Bolt-on in Lake Baikal.

You can also experience the Solar Eclipse in Xi'an, China.
