As anticipation builds for one of the world’s most glamorous sporting and social events, Explora Journeys has today opened reservations for suite-only stays and suites with 3-day Grandstand access aboard EXPLORA I for the FORMULA 1® GRAND PRIX DE MONACO 2027. Suites with 3-day Paddock Club™ hospitality will also be released soon, offering guests an additional opportunity to experience the race weekend with access to gourmet dining, pit lane walks and appearances by Formula 1 legends.
From June 2 to June 7, 2027, EXPLORA I will take her place just 150 meters from the circuit, bringing Explora Journeys’ distinctive approach to ocean travel back to Port Hercule for the third year in a row. Her exceptional position puts guests at the heart of the energy and excitement of race weekend, while offering a calm and private retreat just moments from the action.
For those looking to extend their time onboard, the Monaco race weekend can also be combined with a Journey before or after the event. Guests can sail from Rome to Monaco from May 24 to June 7, continue from Monaco to Barcelona from June 2 to June 14, or combine both for the ultimate Journey from Rome to Barcelona from May 24 to June 14, creating an opportunity to experience the Grand Prix as part of a longer Mediterranean journey.
Following successful editions in 2025 and 2026, the return to Monaco marks another chapter in Explora Journeys’ growing relationship with the legendary race weekend, where motorsport, gastronomy, art, culture and entertainment converge against the backdrop of the Riviera.
“Monaco has become an important part of the Explora Journeys story,” said Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys. “Being in the heart of Port Hercule for Formula 1 - one of the world’s most celebrated events - allows us to bring together so much of what our guests value, privileged access, exceptional gastronomy and hospitality, and a seamless way to experience the very best of the race weekend. Returning for a third consecutive year reflects both the success of this experience and our ambition to continue going beyond the traditional ocean journey.”
THE ULTIMATE MONACO ADDRESS
EXPLORA I will be the only ship of its kind docked in Port Hercule throughout the race weekend, offering guests the convenience of being just moments from the circuit as well as:
Oceanfront suites, each with a private terrace Six restaurants offering distinct epicurean experiences 12 bars and lounges Premium beverages throughout the stay Ocean-inspired wellness, including spa and fitness facilities Exclusive Formula 1® experiences and onboard events Allowing guests to move seamlessly between the intensity of the circuit and the more relaxed rhythm of life onboard, EXPLORA I will provide a unique perspective on one of the world’s most anticipated sporting weekends.
A DISTINCTIVE MONACO EXPERIENCE
Over the 2025 and 2026 events, Explora Journeys firmly anchored its presence in Monaco as the social epicenter of the Riviera during race weekend. Previous editions have welcomed motorsport legends Sir Jackie Stewart, Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard onboard, and hosted high-profile gatherings including the official Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco 2026 Opening Party or the iconic Vanity Fair Club in 2025. Full details of the highly anticipated 2027 program will soon be revealed.
Reservations are now open for the 2027 race weekend, offering a choice of suite-only stays or suites paired with 3-day Grandstand access to experience the atmosphere and excitement of the Grand Prix from prime viewing locations.
