Classic Cars & Monte Carlo's Racing Circuit

  • Cars Monte Carlos Racing
From 140
Visit Monaco's stunning car museum, walk along the famed Grand Prix circuit, and explore the city first with a guide, then on your own.
Some people collect model toy cars, while others collect *actual* cars. For automobile enthusiasts — or anyone who enjoys a master feat of engineering — seeing Prince Rainier’s private collection of toys (aka classic cars) feels like a dream come true. From a 1929 Bugatti to his 1903 De Dion Bouton, you’ll see it all before walking to some of Monaco's (and the F1's) most famous spots, ending in Old Town with free time to explore and grab lunch on your own, before heading back to Cannes.

Shore Things are fully refundable to the original form of payment. However, please note that Shore Things are only fully refundable if they are canceled within 48 hours prior to the booked Shore Thing taking place, unless stated otherwise in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section. If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price. 

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking. Therefore, you’ll only be charged for the price difference between the canceled and new experience. If you have remaining temporary credit left on your account after you’ve made another experience purchase, the remaining credit will be refunded to your original form of payment after midnight EST.

If you cancel a Shore Thing during your voyage and are eligible for a refund, a credit will be applied to your folio and not to your original form of payment.


Shore Things departure times and/or meeting locations are subject to change. We will make every effort to notify Sailors in advance via the Sailor App of any tour departure and/or meeting changes.
