MSC Cruises has announced its title sponsorship of three Formula 1® World Championship Grand Prix races in 2025. It is the first time that the cruise line's brand will be included in the name of these three Formula 1® Grand Prix races, and is in addition to the track branding as part of the MSC Cruises global partner status, which has been in place since 2022.
The races are the Formula 1 MSC Cruises Austrian Grand Prix 2025 in June, the Formula 1 MSC Cruises United States Grand Prix 2025 in October and the Formula 1 MSC Cruises Grande Prêmio de São Paulo 2025 in November.
According to the brand, 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 says that its luxury travel brand, Explora Journeys, will also be making an appearance in May when the newest ship in the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco 2025 fleet, EXPLORA II, will be docked in the heart of Monaco's famous Port Hercule. This will offer avid race fans a prime position throughout race week. She will also play host to a series of spectacular events, providing a fitting venue for one of the most anticipated races and its star-studded crowd, as well as being a luxurious home-away-from-home for guests throughout the weekend.
According to the MSC Group, the three races are:
