Zadar Cruise Port welcomed the “Ferrari Cavalcade” automotive experience on July 2.

This is an exclusive event where Ferrari owners from around the world drive their cars together along scenic routes.

This year’s edition of the event introduced a cruise-based format for the first time, combining Ferrari’s driving experience with cruising the Adriatic and Mediterranean aboard the Explora II, according to a press release.

As nearly 300 guests disembarked the ship at Zadar Cruise Port, they were reunited with more than 120 Ferraris that were transported overnight to Zadar Cruise Port.

There, they were staged in preparation for the Croatian leg of the journey before departing in a procession through Zadar’s historic peninsula.

“Hosting Ferrari Cavalcade is the latest recognition for Zadar Cruise Port and a reflection of what can be achieved through strong collaboration between our team, our partners and the wider community,” said Rebeka V. Pevec, general manager of Zadar Cruise Port.

“Delivering an event of this complexity required meticulous planning and seamless coordination, and we are proud to have demonstrated the operational excellence of Zadar Cruise Port while showcasing the very best that Zadar has to offer to one of the world’s most exclusive audiences.”

Since its inaugural edition in 2011, the event has visited destinations including Tuscany, Venice, Monaco, Dubai, Kyoto, San Francisco and Patagonia.

According to the press release, delivering an event of this caliber required close collaboration between Zadar Cruise Port, Ferrari, Canossa Events, local authorities and partners.
