Autodromo do Algarve: Supercar Driving Experience

Take the wheel of a high-performance supercar on one of Europe's most celebrated race circuits — the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve, home to MotoGP and Formula racing. A pure adrenaline bucket-list moment, just 15 minutes from the dock.

What to expect

A short private transfer from the cruise terminal delivers you to the Portimacão circuit's pit lane, where a briefing and helmet fitting set the scene. Choose from a curated fleet ranging from Porsche GT3s to Ferrari or Lamborghini (availability by season), then take instruction laps before driving solo at speed across the circuit's dramatic hillside layout. The view from the highest point — sweeping Algarve hills in every direction — is as breathtaking as the G-forces. A professional video of your laps is included as a keepsake.
