MSC Cruises & Formula 1 to Launch High-End Hospitality Experience for Grand Prix
MSC Cruises and Formula 1 have announced they will offer a luxury hospitality experience for the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, happening November 24-26, 2023.
MSC Cruises’ MSC Virtuosa will be docked at the Abu Dhabi Cruise Terminal (just a short drive from the event venue) during the race weekend. The ship will serve as a hotel, as well as the home of a newly-announced integrated Grand Prix experience.
“Through this exclusive hospitality offering we are bringing together the very best of two worlds–Formula 1 and MSC Cruises. By collaborating together, we are integrating the incredible atmosphere at the track with the incredible experience on board our ships to create an unrivaled and truly memorable race experience for fans of all ages,” said Gianni Onorato, CEO of MSC Cruises.
A range of package offerings from MSC Cruises and Formula 1 combine accommodations, race tickets, and access to F1 Experiences. Bookings are open now, and package options can be found on the MSC Cruises’ website here.
Fans searching for the ‘ultimate’ Formula 1 weekend can choose the cabin + F1 Experience. This package includes trackside activities, access to premium all-inclusive hospitality (Turn 1 Suite, Paddock Club, and the Legend), exclusive access to the Pit Lane Walk, a Guided Track Tour on a flatbed truck, Formula 1 personnel appearances, and more.
All packages include breakfast and evening meals, complimentary Wi-Fi, and transportation to/from the track and the ship. Additionally, guests will enjoy themed Formula 1 activities, entertainment, along with children’s programs. During race downtime, guests can also take advantage of all of MSC Virtuosa’s offerings which include restaurants and bars, two theatres, a shopping mall and Mediterranean-style promenade, spa, fully equipped gym, five swimming pools, an interactive waterpark, and more.
As announced in 2022, MSC Cruises signed a multi-year deal to become the global partner of Formula 1. In this partnership, MSC Cruises will position ships port-side during select F1 races so guests onboard can hear the excitement and go ashore for closer race viewing.
