Mercy Ships operates the world’s largest civilian hospital ships that deliver free surgeries and other healthcare services to those with little access to safe medical care. Focusing entirely on partnering with African nations for the past three decades, Mercy Ships provides training to local healthcare professionals and supports the construction of in-country medical infrastructure to leave a lasting impact. Since the start 128,000+ surgical procedures were performed and 56,000+ healthcare professionals have been trained, entirely funded by donations and volunteer work.

This June 2nd, Monaco sets the stage for another edition of Mercy Ships charity Gala and an unforgettable evening dedicated to raising life-changing funds for Mercy Ships—the global charity that delivers free, world-class surgical care to underserved communities via hospital ships.

Against the glittering backdrop of Monte-Carlo’s Port Hercule, the iconic Hall of Champions will host an exceptional evening that seamlessly marries haute sophistication with meaningful philanthropy. This exclusive soiree on the water promises an unforgettable experience for discerning international guests, bringing together distinguished high-net-worth individuals and philanthropists for an evening of purpose and refinement.
The gala will feature an inspiring address illuminating the transformative work of Mercy Ships, whose mission of bringing hope and healing to communities in need resonates deeply with the spirit of compassionate luxury. Throughout the evening, both silent and live auctions will offer guests the opportunity to contribute to this vital cause, while world-class performances and curated entertainment ensure an atmosphere of elegance and celebration. This is more than a dinner—it is an intimate gathering where glamour meets generosity, and where the world’s most influential changemakers unite beneath the Mediterranean stars.
