Miami & Monaco Grand Prix
The arrival of May always brings a thrill – the promise of summer ahead and for motorsport enthusiasts, the excitement of two iconic Grand Prix weekends: Miami and Monaco.
We start the month under the sun-soaked skies of Florida. Our approach begins off Cape Canaveral, where the distant NASA launch sites serve as a quiet tribute to exploration. As we head south, the wild coastline gives way to canals, marinas and glimpses of the Everglades. By the time Miami’s skyline emerges, the shift in pace is unmistakable. Miami is a city alive with vibrant flair; home to beautiful beaches, an incredible blend of cultures and world-class art & design. A relatively recent addition to the racing calendar, Miami Grand Prix weekend has firmly placed itself as one of the most star-studded and vibrant with celebrities and legends of the sport alike gripped by the drama on the track.
Beyond the excitement of race weekend, we love to explore Miami’s Art Deco historic district for a taste of the glamour and decadence of the 1920s and 1930s. For those wishing to connect with nature, a journey into Everglades National Park offers a rare encounter with Florida’s most endangered and awe-inspiring wildlife, such as the elusive Florida panther, American crocodile and manatee.
Then as May progresses, the magic of the French riviera beckons and towards the end of the month, Monaco’s iconic winding roads take centre stage. For many, it is the crown jewel of Formula 1 – a race steeped in history, drama and the thrill of high-speed precision through its impossibly narrow streets.
Picture ULYSSIA gliding gracefully into Nice, with the golden glow of the Mediterranean sun across her decks. From here, take a helicopter across the Côte d’Azur and over to Monte Carlo for an iconic weekend of racing. Once the chequered flag is waved and the thrilling action is over, unwind with a trip into Grasse, the perfume capital of the world or head to Provence for a tour of one of its esteemed vineyards and a taste of its refreshing rosé wines. No matter how you spend your time in the South of France, it charms in each and every way.
In between these epic adventures, step back aboard your sanctuary at sea. ULYSSIA is your home, a place of quietude amongst the thrill of each adventure. A place to unwind and let the incredible memories you’ve recently made sink in, having celebrated May at its finest.
