Explora Journeys Opens Sales For F1 Paddock Club™ Vip Hospitality For Guests Staying On Board Explora I During The Formula 1 Grand Prix De Monaco 2026

Explora Journeys

Explora Journeys, the luxury lifestyle ocean travel brand of the MSC Group, has announced the official opening of sales for the F1 Paddock Club™ VIP Hospitality experience for guests reserving a suite aboard EXPLORA I during the FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX DE MONACO 2026.

Docked in the heart of Monte Carlo’s legendary Port Hercule, EXPLORA I will offer the ultimate vantage point for one of the world’s most prestigious sporting events. Guests will experience the perfect harmony of the exhilaration of race weekend and the serene elegance of their ultra-luxurious home at sea. This unique offering can be further elevated through exclusive access to the F1 Paddock Club™, placing guests at the very heart of Formula 1®.

From the high-octane racing action unfolding at the iconic Rascasse corner to the refined ambiance of the Paddock Club™ lounge, guests will witness the FORMULA 1 MONACO GRAND PRIX from a perspective few will ever know. The experience includes gourmet dining, world-class hospitality, live entertainment, and the possibility of spontaneous encounters with legendary drivers and A-list personalities, all set against the unmistakable glamour of Monte Carlo.

The F1 Paddock Club™ experience provides much more than race viewing. Guests can step into the inner sanctum of Formula 1® during the Aramco Formula 1® Pit Lane Walk, where they will observe teams at work as they fine-tune their machines for lights out. They will have the rare opportunity to hear firsthand from current drivers and iconic champions during intimate appearances and enjoy exclusive paddock tours in small, hosted groups for an unparalleled behind-the-scenes perspective. Between the action, guests can relax with curated entertainment, live DJ sets, cultural experiences, and innovative digital activations, all delivered with Monaco’s signature flair.

Guests reserving a suite aboard EXPLORA I may choose between breathtaking sea views or vistas of Monte Carlo. This exceptional experience combines the adrenaline of Formula 1® with the sophistication and comfort of luxury ocean travel, redefining what it means to experience Monaco’s most iconic weekend.

Reservations are now open through the Explora Experience Centre or via preferred travel advisors.
