FORMULA 1 Monaco Grand Prix, powered by French luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton, kicked off with a night to remember aboard Explora Journeys’ EXPLORA on the night of June 4.
An excited Anna Nash, President of Explora Journeys, said the most electrifying new address in Monaco this weekend isn’t on land!
“As one of the newest brands in luxury travel, Explora Journeys is redefining what it means to experience the ocean. Hosting the official opening party of Formula 1 aboard EXPLORA I places our brand, our ships and our vision centre stage during one of the world’s most iconic events and reflects the momentum we are building as we continue to redefine ocean travel.”
EXPLORA I, which feels very much like your very own personal yacht, took center stage in Port Hercule, welcoming a prestigious gathering of international guests, cultural tastemakers and sporting icons for the private soirée.
An Evening on Explora 1
The evening blended sophisticated hospitality with world-class entertainment, featuring curated cocktails and panoramic view of the riviera that were illuminated by Europe’s largest ever drone show, featuring 3,050 separate drones that lit up the night. The show featured a 10-minute choreographed visual journey through Formula 1’s present and future.
Following a dramatic mass take-off, drones recreated visuals of the Monaco cityscape, and its iconic street circuit, followed by the Monaco Grand Prix trophy, where the 600ft high and 800ft wide animation highlighted Formula 1’s extension in the Principality through 2035.
EXPLORA I is the only ship of its kind docked in Port Hercule for the entire race weekend, anchoring the event as an ultra-elegant sanctuary and a glamorous hub of international prestige.
Throughout the legendary sporting event, the ship will provide a unique vantage point and a sophisticated base, offering guests staying onboard an unrivaled perspective on the thrilling action of the Grand Prix, bespoke shore excursions and an exceptional program of exclusive onboard events, bringing to life Explora Journeys’ vision of seamlessly connecting the worlds of luxury hospitality on land and at sea.
