MSC Cruises Extends Formula 1 Partnership

MSC Cruises has extended its partnership with Formula 1 and is now the Official Cruise Partner of all races through the end of the 2026 FIA Formula 1 World Championship.

The cruise line has agreed to bring ships during Grand Prix weekends for special event and hospitality packages, the first of which begins with November’s Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The packages include a stay onboard an MSC Cruises ship, all-included transportation to and from the Grand Prix, and even special experiences for racing fans.

MSC is also the title sponsor for the upcoming 2023 Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix.

“Formula 1 and MSC Cruises are great partners on many levels and our successes are founded in teamwork. Not only this, but we are both driving towards sustainable change,” said Pierfrancesco Vago, Executive Chairman MSC Cruises. “We want to build the future of our industries and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come. We are both working at the forefront of our industries and helping to make a real difference. And this is why we are committed to Formula 1 for the long term and have extended our sponsorship as Global Partner. We look forward to this special partnership going from strength to strength.”
