Explora Journeys opens sales for Monaco Grand Prix 2027 packages aboard EXPLORA I

Explora Journeys has opened sales for two Formula 1 hospitality packages aboard EXPLORA I for the Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco 2027. Each one pairs a five-night stay in Port Hercule with Paddock Club access. Guests get a suite on the water and a place at the heart of the race weekend, and return to the same berth each evening.

EXPLORA I returns to Port Hercule from 2 to 7 June 2027. Explora says she will be the only ship of her kind docked in the harbour, moored about 150 metres from the circuit. 2027 will be the brand’s third consecutive year in Monaco, so this is an established fixture of the race weekend. During one of the busiest weekends in the principality’s calendar, guests have a private suite with a terrace within walking distance of the track.

The first option, F1 Paddock Club VIP Hospitality, starts from €37,000 per person. It includes a five-night all-inclusive suite stay aboard EXPLORA I and three days of Paddock Club access. That access comes with an Aramco Pit Lane Walk and talks with F1 drivers and ambassadors. There is also a Paddock Tour for groups of no more than 10, which keeps the walk through the teams’ working area small. An off-track programme with DJ sets fills the hours away from the circuit.

The second option, Monaco Triple Crown Paddock Club Hospitality, starts from €40,000 per person. It includes a five-night stay and gives each of the three race days its own hospitality setting. Guests watch the weekend from three different vantage points around the harbour and the circuit.

On Friday 4 June, Triple Crown guests go to Gordon Ramsay at F1 La Terrasse. On Saturday 5 June, Paddock Club Yacht Access takes them to a Zone 1 harbour berth to watch the action from the water. On Sunday 6 June, race day is spent in the Paddock Club Suite overlooking La Rascasse at Turn 17. This tight corner leads cars onto the final stretch of the lap, and it is one of the circuit’s best-known viewing points.

The ship is a large part of the offer. EXPLORA I has oceanfront suites with private terraces, six restaurants, 12 bars and lounges, and Ocean Wellness facilities. Guests have a calm base to return to after each day at the circuit, and it is close enough to the track that the race weekend is just outside. For travellers who want the noise and spectacle of Monaco with somewhere quiet to retreat to, the two packages combine both.

The Monaco programme has drawn notable names from the sport in past years. Explora lists Sir Jackie Stewart, Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard among previous guests. Between them they hold several world championships, and their presence shows the kind of company the weekend has attracted aboard. The 2027 onboard programme has not yet been published, and Explora says further details will follow.

Choosing between the two packages comes down to how the three days should feel. The VIP Hospitality package centres on the Paddock Club itself, with pit lane access, driver talks and the small-group tour. The Triple Crown moves its guests from a Gordon Ramsay terrace to a harbour berth and then to the suite above La Rascasse, giving each day a different setting. Both include the five nights aboard and the same position in Port Hercule.

Bookings are open through the Explora Experience Centre, at explorajourneys.com or through a Travel Advisor. Explora says places are limited. Anyone who wants to watch the 2027 race from the harbour should start planning soon, and a Travel Advisor can confirm suite categories and availability before the programme is announced.
