The Ocean Race is recognised as the toughest professional sporting event in the world as well as the toughest team challenge within sailing. Visiting nine host cities on five continents for a duration of six months, the best sailors compete on the world’s toughest waters which makes the Ocean Race the ultimate ocean marathon. Nature is at the heart of race, the ocean is the race track and the wind that powers the boats - but ocean health is deteriorating fast. The Ocean Race is an unparalleled platform to educate, inspire and accelerate action for our blue planet at this critical time in history. This goes hand in hand with Volvo Cars ambition as a pioneer of protecting people and the planet. From the very outset Volvo Cars has been a brand for people who care about the world we live in and the people around us. Safety is our core. Our strong heritage and credibility in safety is now being utilized to create a unique approach to sustainability – planetary safety. Keeping the world around our cars as safe as the people in them.
We are excited to welcome you to the Volvo Studio in the heart of the Cape Town Ocean Live Park. In the 2017-18 edition of the race, 2,6 million visitors came to experience the action. At the heart of the Ocean Live Park you can come up close and personal with the sailors and team staff, working on The Ocean Race racing boats and in the team bases. Or come explore how the teams live and compete inside of the boats in the Race Boat Experience. The One Blue Voice focuses on sustainability and ocean health and houses the educational program. The Ocean Live Park offers visitors these and many, many more experiences and interaction, daily event programs and of course food & beverage and race merchandise.
