MSC Cruises Launches Formula 1 Watch Parties

Formula 1 Race Weekends Are Coming to MSC Ships

MSC Cruises announced on November 9 a new collaboration with Heineken featuring live Formula 1 screenings, watch parties and race-themed competitions. The activities will continue through the remainder of the 2026 season and throughout 2027.

Which MSC Ships Have Formula 1 Watch Parties?

MSC World America hosted the main launch celebrations during the São Paulo Grand Prix weekend, November 6–8. Additional activities took place aboard MSC Seascape, MSC Seashore, MSC Seaside and MSC World Europa. MSC says the program will roll out across its fleet, with activities and prizes varying by ship.

Where Can You Watch Formula 1 Onboard?

MSC identifies sports bars, pool decks and other entertainment venues as locations for the race-day experiences. The announcement does not provide a ship-by-ship schedule or guarantee every session will be shown. Check your onboard daily program for the venue and local screening time.

A Limited-Edition Heineken Can Joins the Lineup

Select onboard bars will also carry a special Heineken can featuring an F1 car alongside an MSC cruise ship. It is part of the same collaboration, giving race fans a themed drink option during the celebrations.

If a Grand Prix falls during your cruise, look for the event early in the sailing. Watching with fellow fans could make a fun addition to a sea day, especially if you usually follow the races from home.
