Marriott Bonvoy has rolled out its annual packages to see the Monaco Grand Prix, which includes an opportunity to watch the race from a VIP yacht chartered by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team.

Packages are now available for bidding on this page of the Marriott Bonvoy Moments site.

Options include:

  • Access to the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team penthouse apartment in Monaco on Qualifying Day on Saturday, with views overlooking the start-finish straight of the circuit and the chance to mingle with team personnel

  • An exclusive sleepover on the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team yacht, Liquid Sky, for the member and their guest

  • The chance to be on the tri-deck yacht on Race Day on Sunday, providing prime race viewing along Tabac corner, indoor spaces with seating and screens and all-inclusive food & beverage

The bad news is that these packages always go for crazy numbers of points, so don’t get your hopes up.

The good news is that there are also standard tickets for Qualifying Day and Race Day available for auction, with bids currently as low as 15,000 points for Qualifying Day on 28th May.

You can see what is available, and bid, here.

    Just checked my account it’s now showing diamond. But the expiration date is 31/12/2022 as there was an email saying Elite Status will be extended through February 2023 a few months ago. I earned Spire in 2021. Anyone got same expiration date?

  • ChrisC says:

    Lounge benefit could be good but only if you stay in hotels that have lounges!

    Unless there is some sort of replacement such as a couple of drink vouchers /.F&B credits for each night of your stay.

  • NorthernLass says:

    IHG certainly have upgraded their IT but if you can manage to stay signed in for any length of time the magic upgrade offers seem to be around in abundance!
