A historic supercar route that transforms the Adriatic into a high-performance setting, as 116 Ferraris cross Europe on a spectacular journey from Italy to Greece.
In an event expected to redefine the boundaries of international luxury automotive events, Ferrari is capturing global attention with the Cavalcade 2026, a multi-day supercar road trip that traverses key European routes of high tourist and cultural value. The procession of 116 Ferraris becomes a moving showcase of technology, design and performance, as it connects Italy with Greece via a route that traverses the Adriatic and culminates in Athens, while highlighting the character of the institution as a combination of experience, lifestyle, and high-profile international exposure.
Ferrari announces the new edition of the Cavalcade, which will take place from June 29 to July 6, 2026, following a unique route from Venice to Athens.
The experience
This exclusive experience, dedicated to Ferrari customers, will bring together 116 crews from every corner of the world, who will traverse some of the most breathtaking landscapes of the Adriatic and the Eastern Mediterranean, united by their shared passion for Ferrari.
For the first time in the event’s history, the Cavalcade takes on a new dimension, combining the thrilling driving experience with a cruise aboard the EXPLORA II, the elegant ship of Explora Journeys, the premium cruise line.
An exceptional collection of iconic Ferrari models will provide a unique spectacle along the route, featuring the 849 Testarossa, Piloti Ferrari 296 Speciale, F80, Ferrari 12Cilindri and 12Cilindri Spider, SF90 XX Stradale and SF90 XX Spider, 296 GTB and 296 GTS, 812 Competizione, Ferrari Daytona SP3, Ferrari Roma and Roma Spider, 812 GTS, F8 Spider, 488 Pista, and LaFerrari.
The program
The program kicks off on Monday, June 29, in Trieste, with a major exhibition in Piazza Unità d’Italia starting at 12:00 p.m. Residents and visitors will have the opportunity to admire the participating Ferrari models up close; the cars will remain on display until the following morning.
On June 30, the crews will cross Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia, making stops in Gorizia, Nova Gorica, Strmol Castle, and Ribnica, before concluding the day’s route with a vehicle exhibition at the port of Rijeka.
On July 1, the Cavalcade continues along the coast and through the Croatian hinterland, passing through Zadar, Novigrad, Šibenik, Trogir, and Split, offering unique views of the Adriatic and stops at some of the region’s most charming destinations.
On July 2, the route focuses on southern Croatia, passing through historic fortified towns and stunning coastal landscapes. The departure from the port of Gruž will be followed by a car exhibition in the historic center of Ston, a town known for its imposing medieval walls—among the largest in Europe — as well as for its centuries-old tradition of salt production.
The driving experience will continue on Sunday, July 5, in the Peloponnese, on a route inspired by the region’s wine-making tradition and natural landscapes. Highlights include Nafplio and the Loukos Monastery, before participants arrive at the port of Piraeus and continue on to Athens.
The trip will culminate in a special evening at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, featuring a charity auction to benefit educational initiatives.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the “Kypseli” program of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Greece, which supports young refugees in their educational and professional paths, while the remainder will support the M-TECH Alfredo Ferrari educational center, which is expected to open in Maranello in 2029, with the goal of inspiring and educating future generations of innovators in the fields of technology and the automotive industry.
