Regent Seven Seas: F1 Fever in the Mediterranean
By Tully Luxury Travel | 08-22-2024 |
With the rising popularity of Grand Prix tourism, more and more travelers are looking for a combination of immersive motorsport experiences and luxury travel perks to support them along the way. And while a few cruise lines have Grand Prix themes woven through some of their itineraries, Regent goes a step further – maybe even a whole lap – with the unique addition of the Aston Martin Regent Spotlight Voyage.
On this incredible 2025 sailing aboard the Seven Seas Splendor – hosted by ambassador Pedro de la Rosa – guests can personally interact with retired Formula One drivers, engineers and executives from the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team. Spain’s de la Rosa competed in more than 100 Grands Prix between 1999 and 2012, earning even greater accolades with his role as a development driver. To date, he has driven more than 65,000 test miles in F1 machinery.
The 10-night Regent cruise itinerary itself, from Barcelona to Rome in July 2025, is perfect for F1 enthusiasts who want to get closer to the action. Program highlights of the cruise include special workshops, master classes, Q&A panel discussions and a race-themed shore experience. With the Life of an F1 Driver excursion in Monte Carlo, Monaco, travelers will have an exclusive track tour, a panoramic helicopter ride and a chance to delve into Prince Rainer’s personal car collection.
As well, a replica Aston Martin Aramco Race Car will also be on board the Splendor, along with an Aston Martin Driving Simulator to help guests test their skills on a virtual track.
Superfans can experience supreme high performance
Exclusive pre- and post-cruise programs for this voyage offer even more exhilaration at an added cost and with limited capacity:
• On the three-night Motorsport Magic pre-cruise land program in Barcelona, guests drive the Montjuïc F1 racetrack, take a scenic helicopter tour over Montserrat and enjoy a farewell dinner featuring Catalan wines.
