Windstar Cruises is set to offer exclusive Monaco Grand Prix programmes to guests sailing onboard its newest yacht Star Pride and its flagship Wind Surf in 2014.
Hosted by former Formula One pit reporter John Bisignano, the Grand Prix themed cruise onboard Star Pride will offer guests the chance to watch the qualifying and final races from 24-25 May in Grand Stand seats. They will also enjoy a cocktail reception and Grand Prix dinner before arriving in Monaco, as well as a post-race reception at Monte Carlo’s Hotel de Paris.
Star Pride’s seven-day Grand Prix of Monaco voyage sails round-trip from Rome/Civitavecchia, Italy on 21 May. The vessel will call at Portoferraio, Portofino and Portovenere in Italy, Cannes in France and Monte Carlo in Monaco.
Guests travelling on Wind Surf’s Yachting the Riviera itinerary will also receive Grand Stand seats for the qualifying races and finals, as well as an onboard cocktail reception and a Grand Prix gift package.
