It's crafted to immerse travelers in the world of Grand Prix at destinations with a racing tradition such as Barcelona and Monte Carlo.

Former Formula 1 driver Pedro de la Rosa, a veteran of more than 100 Grands Prix, and members of Aston Martin Aramco including engineers and executives will be aboard Seven Seas Splendor’s July 22, 2025, 10-night sailing. They will conduct master classes, workshops and panel discussions.

Off the ship, Regent and Aston Martin Aramco are curating driving and racing experiences around the destinations visited.

Three land tour add-ons

Racing themed pre- and post-cruise multi-day land programs are available, too. These could see participants exploring famous racetracks and viewing exceptional private car collections, plus the chance to attend an Aston Martin Aramco Race Weekend in Hungary. Other programs are in Barcelona and Bologna.

This voyage, which takes place in the heart of the 2025 season, is 'the perfect way for guests to get an exclusive look into the fascinating inner workings of an iconic Formula 1 team,' according to Jefferson Slack, managing director - commercial & marketing, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team.

Glamorous Monte Carlo tour

A bespoke tour in Monte Carlo will begin with a visit to the Classic Car Collection then the iconic Monaco Circuit. A lavish lunch follows before participants discover more of the famous circuit on a walking tour with a chance to delve into Prince Rainer's personal car collection. After an aperitivo with F1 memorabilia overlooking Port Hercule, the day will be capped with a panoramic helicopter flight, the quintessential race day arrival and departure experience.

Aboard Seven Seas Splendor, a full-size replica of one of the team’s race cars, featuring the Regent logo, will be placed on a public deck. The ship will also host an Aston Martin simulator so passengers can test their skills on a virtual circuit.

The voyage will be complete with special 'Race Day'- themed dishes, cocktails, deck parties, documentary airings, gifts, co-branded merchandise in the ship’s boutique and special Culinary Arts Kitchen classes.

Prices start at $8,449 per person. Some shoreside experiences will be at an additional cost and have limited capacity.
