Wales Pavilion
Volvo Ocean Race Cardiff Stopover 2018
The Event
VIP Hospitality and Events Pavilion within the Volvo Ocean Race Stopover Village in Cardiff Bay.
Since 1973, the Volvo Ocean Race has provided the ultimate test of a team and a human adventure like no other. Over four decades it has kept an almost mythical hold over some of the greatest ever sailors – and the 2017-18 edition took the teams 45,000 nautical miles around the world, across four oceans, touching six continents and 12 landmark Host Cities including Cardiff.
