Explora Journeys, the luxury ocean travel brand of the MSC Group, has opened reservations for its F1 Paddock Club™ VIP Hospitality program for guests sailing aboard Explora I during the 2026 Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco. The vessel will be berthed in Monte Carlo’s Port Hercule, providing a commanding position from which to witness one of motorsport’s most prominent events.
The arrangement offers guests an integrated experience that merges the intensity of Formula 1 with the refined atmosphere of a contemporary ocean residence. Guests will have the option to enhance their stay with exclusive access to the F1 Paddock Club™, affording close proximity to the circuit and privileged perspectives of key points such as the Rascasse corner. Within the Paddock Club™ lounges, visitors will experience fine dining, live entertainment, and premium hospitality, alongside opportunities to observe the sport’s drivers and personalities in a relaxed yet exclusive environment.
The Paddock Club™ program extends beyond race viewing to include participation in the Aramco Formula 1® Pit Lane Walk, granting guests an opportunity to see teams in preparation and engage directly with the sport’s inner workings. Access to hosted paddock tours and discussions featuring current and former drivers will provide further insight into the technical and human elements of Formula 1 competition. Complementary activities, including curated entertainment, DJ performances, and digital experiences, will accompany the event throughout the weekend.
Aboard Explora I, guests will be able to select suites offering views of either the Monaco coastline or the open sea, ensuring a combination of maritime tranquility and the energy of the Grand Prix. By uniting the atmosphere of high-performance racing with the elegance of luxury cruising, Explora Journeys introduces a distinctive approach to one of Monaco’s most celebrated annual occasions.
