Destination is the fourteenth studio album by the German rock band Eloy, released in 1992.
It is an abstract concept album conceived by Frank Bornemann, which deals with the concept of destiny and how much it determines the actions and the general course of people's lives.
Destination is the second album recorded by the Eloy duo line-up of Frank Bornemann and Michael Gerlach, established in 1988 with Ra. It also marked the return of bassist Klaus-Peter Matziol, as a guest musician. Matziol was a full-time Eloy member from 1976 to 1984, before their four-year hiatus.
The album has a heavier sound than previous Eloy recordings, as Bornemann was influenced by the heavy metal bands he worked for as a record producer, in his own Horus Sound Studios.
The painting on the front cover, entitled "Astrologica" and designed by Albert Belasco, depicts the twelve zodiac signs forming the hair of a young woman.
