Explora Journeys will occupy pole position at the 2025 Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, with the line’s second ship, Explora II set to be docked just 150 metres from the principality’s racetrack.
The ship will be berthed at Monaco’s famous Port Hercule throughout race week, just beyond the F1 paddock and offering travellers prime access to the city during arguably its most important annual weekend.
Onboard, travellers will have access to a range of special events as part of Explora’s multi-year sponsorship with Formula 1 via its parent, MSC Group.
Guests can now book a range of exclusive Formula 1 experiences onboard Explora II including grandstand tickets, or register interest in the F1 Paddock Club.
Executive Chairman of the MSC Group’s Cruise Division, Pierfrancesco Vago, said he was delighted to be able to showcase Explora II for the first time during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.
“This is one of the most prestigious events in the calendar, and it is only fitting that this would be where we offer sporting enthusiasts an unforgettable experience that brings together the world of motor sports with the luxury of maritime travel.”
Formula 1 Group CEO, Stefano Domenicali, said Formula 1 was all about striving to offer our fans new and incredible experiences that align with our values and elevate our sport.
