Cruise Traveller’s new ‘Sailing Ships and Racing Cars’ cruise and stay package is a destination-rich adventure that begins on May 23, 2025, with a night’s stay in a hotel in Nice in France. Next day, guests board the 170-guest Star Flyer for an 18-night voyage from Cannes on the French Riviera to Venice, with 16 destinations in between spread across France, Italy, Croatia, Greece and Montenegro.
The journey – as much of it by sail as possible – comprises two back-to-back cruises taking in a glittering thread of ports including Monaco on May 25, 2025, when the winding, boutique-lined streets of Monte Carlo play host to the renowned Monaco Grand Prix. Tickets to the spectacular race are an optional extra.
