As the cosmic spectacle engulfs the skies in total darkness, it’s only fitting that spectators marvel at the sight while listening to Bonnie Tyler’s classic “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”

According to TIME, the 66-year-old Welch singer will personally sing her ’80s hit while serenading those aboard the Royal Caribbean’s “Total Eclipse Cruise.”

“Bonnie Tyler was a natural choice for this once-in-a-lifetime moment,” Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International, confirmed to the news outlet.

The luxury cruise ship, which sails from Florida this weekend, will pass through the Caribbean toward the island of St. Maarten. The allure of the open sea is expected to amplify the breathtaking sight when the moon passes in front of the sun.

Meanwhile, Tyler has received renewed interest in her 1983 hit as of late, with her song’s music video reaching 300 million views on YouTube.
