Lucky passengers sailing on aboard Silversea Cruises' Silver Spirit on May 24, 2012 are in for a special treat, the luxury cruises line is offering an optional two-day "70th Grand Prix de Monaco" land package.
If you haven't experienced the thrill of a Formula One race--here's your chance. The Spirit will overnight on May 26 and passengers can watch the trials on Saturday, (practice runs for the drivers and their cars) from Tribune K reserved seats. From this section of the grandstand, guests will see cars racing towards them at tremendous speed, slow down, and then accelerate, before making the next turn. In the evening, guests attend an invitation-only cocktail reception hosted by the ship's captain and a former Grand Prix driver, followed by a themed dinner of Mediterranean and Monegasque cuisine served in La Terrazza. On Sunday, guests return to their same reserved seats for the exciting final race.
The tour includes escorted transfers and a gift package of spectator essentials featuring Bushnell binoculars, an official "70th Grand Prix de Monaco" program, souvenir drawstring bag, hat, seat cushion and protective earplugs.
"This is an amazing opportunity for our guests to experience the thrill and excitement of the world's most renowned Formula One race," said Darius Mehta, Silversea's vice president of air and land programs.
The two-day, mid-voyage package costs $1,799 per person and is only offered on Silver Spirit's May 24 voyage (#5213), sailing from Barcelona to Rome. You must book in advance through Silversea's reservations department by January 24, 2012. Hurry, though, space is limited, and this tour could sell out fast. .
