MSC is the world's third-largest cruise company, with 21 supersized ships. After the tumultuous years of COVID-19 that hit the tourism industry and ocean cruises especially hard, MSC is now on a journey to find smart ways of utilizing its fleet of ships.

One of them is entering into a partnership with F1® Official. That's the Formula 1® company for all you non-racing fans.

MSC Virtuosa is one of the newest ships of the company, launched in 2021. It is a Meraviglia-Plus-class cruise ship that cost €800 million to build, and it can accommodate 6,334 people at full capacity (4,842 with double occupancy).
