Silversea guests enjoyed a unique two-day experience at the 2019 Monaco Grand Prix , held at the Princess Grace Dance Academy. On May 25 and 26, guests witnessed the meticulous organization of the Grand Prix from a privileged vantage point. Offered as an optional shore excursion for guests aboard the Silver Shadow, the exclusive event included a highly enriching Mediterranean lunch and showcased the Principality of Monaco at its finest.
Silversea guests were able to relax in the villa's gardens and on its terraces, sipping fine champagne, listening to live music, and admiring motorsport-inspired artwork. They sampled local cuisine and watched the race from the upper floor, before and after enjoying canapés and lunch. Beauty and wellness treatments, including massages, manicures, 3D body photography, and other services, were also offered. To give guests a closer look at motorsport, a racing simulator allowed them to virtually compete on the streets of Monaco. Guests also had the opportunity to meet former racing driver Felipe Massa, who was present on Sunday.
“Silversea has made this an unforgettable experience,” says one guest. “The whole experience has been fantastic, and the view of the race has been phenomenal. We had visited Monaco before, but experiencing the race with Silversea has been very special. We have traveled a lot with Silversea, but this has exceeded our expectations.”.
“There’s no occasion quite like the Monaco Grand Prix; the atmosphere is incredible,” says Adria Bono, Senior Director of Destination Experiences at Silversea. “By hosting this experience, we’re allowing our guests to enjoy this unique, world-renowned sporting event from a prime location, offering a deeper understanding of their destination.”
“Welcoming our guests to such an exclusive venue for one of the world’s most incredible sporting events exemplifies the quality of experiences offered with Silversea,” said Peter Shanks, Managing Director of Silversea UK, Ireland, Middle East and Africa, who was present. “This four-story villa overlooking the circuit is the perfect place for our valued guests to watch the race. They sampled excellent local cuisine and socialized with like-minded travelers while enjoying a prime view of the race. This is a truly unique experience, and the feedback from our guests has been fantastic. We are already looking forward to next year’s experience for the 2020 Monaco Grand Prix!”
