Explora Journeys at Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix 2027

DAY 1 – MONTE CARLO (EMBARK)

Arrive in Monaco as EXPLORA I takes her exclusive position in legendary Port Hercule, just steps from the circuit and at the heart of the principality. Before the energy of race weekend begins to build, the day is yours to settle into the unhurried rhythm of your home at sea.​ ​ Relax on your private terrace, restore body and mind at Ocean Wellness – The Spa, or simply watch Monaco shimmer beyond the harbour. As evening falls, enjoy refined dining and the quiet anticipation of the days ahead, with one of the world’s most celebrated sporting events preparing to unfold just beyond the ship.​ ​ ​ ​

DAY 2 – MONTE CARLO

The atmosphere shifts as Monaco readies for the weekend ahead. Around Port Hercule, superyachts gather, teams make their final preparations and the streets of Monte Carlo take on an unmistakable sense of anticipation.​ ​ It is a day to experience the principality at your own pace, perhaps wandering its elegant avenues and harbourfront before returning to the serenity of EXPLORA I. From your privileged position in Port Hercule, the contrast is compelling: the growing energy of Monaco pulsing outside, and the calm of your oceanfront home at sea whenever you choose to retreat.​ It is a vantage point like no other — where the glamour of Monte Carlo and the serenity of the ocean converge. ​ ​

DAY 3 – MONTE CARLO

The unmistakable sound of Formula 1® arrives in Monaco as the Grand Prix™ weekend begins in earnest. The narrow streets become one of motorsport’s most extraordinary circuits, with drivers expertly weaving their cars between barriers and through legendary corners just steps from EXPLORA I.​ ​ On board, a programme of F1® -inspired experiences captures the spirit of race weekend, bringing the excitement of the Grand Prix directly to your home at sea. As the day draws to a close, retreat to the serenity of your suite, where panoramic city or ocean views and a private terrace create a peaceful counterpoint to the pulse of the circuit.​ ​ ​

DAY 4 – MONTE CARLO

Saturday brings one of Monaco’s defining moments: Formula 1® qualifying. On a circuit where overtaking is notoriously difficult, every fraction of a second matters as drivers push for the coveted front position on the starting grid.​ ​ The excitement fills the principality, from the grandstands to the terraces overlooking its famous streets. Between sessions, EXPLORA I remains your sanctuary in the heart of Monaco, offering space to unwind before the anticipation builds once more for race day.​ ​ ​

DAY 5 – MONTE CARLO

Race day arrives, and Monaco becomes the centre of the Formula 1 world. Against a backdrop of Belle Époque façades, Mediterranean blue and the yachts of Port Hercule, the drivers take on one of the championship’s most demanding and celebrated circuits.​ ​ Experience every turn, acceleration and strategic decision as the FORMULA 1 LOUIS VUITTON GRAND PRIX DE MONACO 2027 reaches its climax, before the chequered flag brings an extraordinary weekend of racing to a close.​ Back aboard EXPLORA I, the pace softens once again. As evening settles over Monte Carlo, linger over exceptional dining or enjoy the view from your oceanfront sanctuary — a serene finale to several unforgettable days at the very heart of Monaco.​

DAY 6 – MONTE CARLO

Megayachts jostle for space while billionaires roll dice in the world’s most famous casino — welcome to Monte-Carlo, playground to the rich and famous. Royals and legends alike grace the Opéra de Monte-Carlo, gathering place for well-heeled locals and visitors since 1879. Supercars growl along well-dressed streets, past palatial hotels and fine dining restaurants showered in Michelin stars. Delve into seafaring history at the Oceanographic Museum, a cliffside cabinet of curiosities, and explore the 13th century Prince’s Palace perched high on the monolithic Rock of Monaco, then soak up the Riviera sunshine at the Thermes Marins (thermal baths), dedicated to well-being and beauty.
