MSC Cruises is gearing up to be the title sponsor of three Formula 1® World Championship Grands Prix in 2025, further strengthening the cruise line’s association with the prestigious motorsport.
The three races will be the 2025 MSC CRUISES FORMULA 1 AUSTRIAN GRAND PRIX in June, the 2025 MSC CRUISES FORMULA 1 UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX in October and the 2025 MSC CRUISES FORMULA 1 SÃO PAULO GRAND PRIX in November.
It is the first time the cruise line’s branding will be included in the name of these three iconic Formula 1® Grand Prix races and adds to the track’s distinctive branding as part of MSC Cruises’ Global Partner status, which runs from 2022.
The collaboration between two world-class brands reflects the continued global growth of Formula 1 and the continued popularity of cruising as a holiday option.
