MSC Cruises will unveil a new MSC Yacht Club experience for the 2026 Miami Grand Prix from May 1 to 3, according to a press release.
The all-new hospitality centerpiece will deliver elevated luxury and immersive design for guests across five decks of a lifelike yacht and is set to become the highlight of the Marina on the inside of Turns 5 to 9.
“MSC Cruises’ partnership with Formula 1 continues to grow and evolve, and the MSC Yacht Club at the Miami Grand Prix is a perfect expression of who we are as a brand—combining innovation, luxury hospitality and world-class experiences in one extraordinary setting,” said Suzanne Salas, executive vice president of marketing, e-commerce and sales for MSC Cruises.
“Formula 1 represents the very best in performance, spectacle and international appeal, which makes this the perfect venue for MSC Cruises to offer fans the seamless blend of European style and American comfort guests enjoy onboard our ships.”
The MSC Yacht Club will become the highlight of the Marina presented by MSC Cruises at the Miami International Autodrome. The lifelike super yacht will measure 264 feet in length, have a width of 96 feet and will be 50 feet tall at its highest point.
Positioned at one of the circuit’s most dynamic sections, the MSC Yacht Club will place guests directly alongside one of the most exciting corners on the track’s layout, delivering dramatic views of up to five turns.
The MSC Yacht Club at the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix is inspired by MSC Cruises’ luxury ship-within-a-ship onboard experience, also named the MSC Yacht Club.
The Miami Grand Prix version will feature five levels totaling 32,000 square feet, with each deck offering a different guest experience.
At the heart of the experience is a culinary program curated by Bagatelle, the hospitality brand. Bagatelle sets the tone for dining throughout the weekend.
“From the very beginning, the Marina presented by MSC Cruises has been one of the defining features of our race,” said Katharina Nowak, president of the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix.
“In creating the MSC Yacht Club, we wanted to elevate that iconic space by providing something even more immersive, refined and connected to racing.”
The structure is the event’s biggest new offering since 2023 when a new Paddock Club building was constructed.
The reimagined Marina presented by MSC Cruises will also feature a new general admission area with an elevated viewing platform inside Turn 7.
