MSC Cruises to Sponsor Three Formula 1 Races in 2025

MSC Cruises has announced its role as the title sponsor for three Formula 1 World Championship races in the 2025 season, strengthening its global partnership with the sport.

The races include the Formula 1 MSC Cruises Austrian Grand Prix in June, the Formula 1 MSC Cruises United States Grand Prix in October, and the Formula 1 MSC Cruises Grande Premio de São Paulo in November.

This sponsorship marks the first time MSC Cruises' brand will feature in the official names of these Formula 1 events. The announcement builds on the cruise line’s global partnership with Formula 1, established in 2022, which already includes branding on racetracks.

In addition to its title sponsorship, Explora Journeys, a luxury brand under MSC Group, will make an appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix in May. The Explora II will dock at Monte Carlo’s Port Hercule, offering a prime vantage point for race enthusiasts aboard the ship.

The Formula 1 MSC Cruises Austrian Grand Prix will take place from June 27 to 29 at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria. The United States Grand Prix is set for October 17 to 19 at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, while the São Paulo Grand Prix is scheduled for November 7 to 9 at Brazil's Autódromo José Carlos Pace, also known as Interlagos.
