Explora Journeys has confirmed that its vessel EXPLORA I will return to Port Hercule for the Formula 1® Grand Prix de Monaco from 3 to 8 June 2026, following its debut during the 2025 event.
Positioned just 150 metres from the track, EXPLORA I will be presented as an exclusive retreat tailored to guests seeking an elevated, yacht-inspired vantage of the race.
The ship’s accommodations will include elegantly appointed suites with private terraces, while onboard amenities will feature six dining venues, unlimited premium beverages, ocean-themed spa and fitness spaces, as well as high-speed Wi‑Fi.
In addition, guests are poised to enjoy a programme of bespoke Formula 1‑focused events onboard. These offerings will enable close encounters with both former and current racing champions, and will include cultural presentations and nightly celebrations that build upon the immersive hospitality first introduced by EXPLORA II in 2025.
Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys, described the Monaco engagement as a defining moment in the brand’s evolution, reinforcing its commitment to integrating refined living, art, and destination immersion into its luxury ocean experiences.
This engagement extends the MSC Group’s multi-year partnership with Formula 1®, originally established in 2022 and renewed through 2030. With EXPLORA I assuming its place as a frontline venue at Port Hercule, guests will benefit from an unparalleled blend of urban glamour, racing excitement, and maritime elegance.
Registration of interest for the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix experience aboard EXPLORA I is now open through the Explora Experience Centre or authorised travel advisors.
