This June, the historic Adriatic coastline will play host to the cutting-edge world of electric powerboat racing, as Dubrovnik welcomes the E1 Dubrovnik GP 2025, part of the UIM E1 World Championship presented by PIF. In celebration of the event, Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik, one of Croatia’s most prestigious five-star hotels, is offering an exclusive front-row experience in partnership with Adriatic Luxury Hotels.
