MONACO GRAND PRIX 2027 ABOARD EXPLORA I

Experience Formula 1’s most glamorous weekend from a private oceanfront suite, docked in the heart of Monaco’s harbor just steps from the track.

Race weekend, with a luxury suite at the starting line

Every year the Monaco Grand Prix transforms the streets of Monte Carlo into one of the most thrilling circuits in motorsport, and hotel rooms within reach of the action are nearly impossible to find. Explora Journeys has solved that problem in the most elegant way possible. From June 2 to 7, 2027, EXPLORA I will be berthed in Port Hercule, Monaco’s famous harbor, with the circuit practically at her gangway. Guests enjoy five days of race weekend energy outside, and the calm of an all-suite luxury ship to retreat to whenever they choose. Add Grandstand seats or F1 Paddock Club hospitality, and you have one of the most exclusive ways to experience Formula 1 anywhere in the world.

Demand has been exceptional. The Suite Only and Suite with Grandstand options are currently fully reserved, but you can still join the interest list for all packages, including the Paddock Club package, which opens for reservations soon. Requests are handled in the order they are received, so we recommend registering as early as possible, and Harr Travel will be happy to submit your interest for you.

Explora Journeys offers a complimentary shared shuttle between Monte Carlo Port and Nice International Airport, the Monte Carlo train station, and Monte Carlo city center. For a truly memorable arrival, private helicopter transfers between Nice and Monaco are available, including a car between the heliport and the port. Guests in the Ocean Residences and the Owner’s Residence receive private ground transfers.

Better yet, add the journey before or after for an extended time away.

Paddock Club is Formula 1’s premier hospitality experience. Above the Rascasse corner, guests enjoy gourmet dining, live entertainment, and appearances by current drivers and racing legends. The package also includes a pit lane walk to watch teams prepare their cars and a small-group guided tour of the paddock (limited to 10 guests). Tickets cover Formula 1 sessions only and do not include Grandstand access.

No. The Suite Only option gives you your suite aboard EXPLORA I for the entire weekend, along with the onboard race programming, live broadcast, and dining, but it does not include tickets to any Formula 1, Formula 2, or Formula 3 sessions. To watch trackside, choose the Suite with Grandstand or Suite with Paddock Club package.

The Grandstand package places you in one of the main grandstands along Monaco’s harbor, between the Swimming Pool chicane and the Rascasse corner. It’s one of the best spots on the circuit, with views of several of the most technical turns, a direct look into the pit lane, and a giant screen so you never miss a moment. Tickets cover the three days of Formula 1 sessions only.

Day 3 – June 4: Engines On. Formula 1 cars take to the streets for the first time, threading between the barriers just beyond the ship. Onboard, race-inspired events bring the excitement right to you.

Day 4 – June 5: Qualifying Day. On a circuit where passing is famously difficult, qualifying can decide the race. Feel the tension build as drivers fight for pole position, then recharge onboard before the big day.

Day 5 – June 6: Race Day. The whole world is watching Monaco. Take in every lap from your seat or from the ship’s live broadcast, then celebrate the finish with an unforgettable evening aboard.
