MSC Cruises announce title sponsorship of three Grand Prix in 2025

The three races will be the Austrian Grand Prix 2025 in June, United States Grand Prix 2025 in October and the Grande Premio de Sao Paulo in November.

It is the first time that the cruise line’s brand will be included in the name of these three iconic Formula 1 Grand Prix races and is in addition to the distinct track branding as part of MSC Cruises’ Global Partner status, which has been in place since 2022.

The collaboration between the two brands reflects Formula 1’s continuing global growth and the continued popularity of cruising as a holiday choice.

MSC Group’s luxury travel brand, Explora Journeys, will also be making an appearance at the Grand Prix de Monaco 2025 in May when the newest ship in the fleet, EXPLORA II, will be docked in the heart of Monaco’s famous Port Hercule, offering a prime position for avid race fans throughout race week.

She will also play host to a series of spectacular events during the competition.
