Tuesday, June 2, 2026 | Hall of Champions, Port Hercule, Monaco

This summer, Monaco’s philanthropic and international community will gather for an exceptional evening in support of one of the world’s most impactful humanitarian organizations. The Mercy Ships Monaco Gala Dinner 2026 invites distinguished guests to unite for a cause that transcends borders — delivering life-changing surgical care to those most in need.

Set against the iconic waterfront of Port Hercule, the event promises a refined and meaningful experience where elegance meets purpose, and where generosity becomes a catalyst for global transformation.

Mercy Ships: Transforming Lives Through Floating Hospitals

At the heart of the evening stands Mercy Ships, a global charity operating the world’s largest civilian hospital ships. For over four decades, the organization has focused its mission on providing free, life-saving surgeries and healthcare services to underserved communities, primarily across Africa.

Their work extends far beyond immediate care. Through long-term partnerships with local governments and institutions, Mercy Ships invests in:

• Training healthcare professionals
• Strengthening medical systems
• Supporting the development of sustainable infrastructure

With more than 128,000 surgical procedures performed and 56,000 healthcare professionals trained, the organization continues to redefine what accessible healthcare can look like on a global scale — entirely funded by donations and volunteer commitment.

An Elegant Evening on the Mediterranean

Hosted at the exclusive Hall of Champions in Port Hercule, the gala offers a setting that reflects Monaco’s signature sophistication. Guests will be welcomed to an elegant dinner by the water, where each moment is thoughtfully curated to balance refinement with purpose.

The evening will feature:

• An inspiring keynote highlighting Mercy Ships’ mission and impact
• Silent and live auctions dedicated to raising critical funds
• Performances and entertainment throughout the night
• A distinguished guest list including international figures, philanthropists, and high-net-worth individuals

Beyond its social prestige, the gala serves as a platform for awareness — connecting influential voices with a cause that demands global attention.

The Barbagiuans: Monaco’s Spirit of Solidarity

This year’s event is proudly supported by Barbagiuans of Monaco, the renowned charitable football association founded by Prince Albert II of Monaco.

Known for uniting personalities from sport, entertainment, and public life, the Barbagiuans embody Monaco’s spirit of solidarity through initiatives that raise funds and awareness for humanitarian causes. Their support of Mercy Ships underscores a shared commitment to impact-driven philanthropy and global responsibility.
