Italian Navy’s Amerigo Vespucci to Visit Puerto Vallarta in June
The Amerigo Vespucci, a renowned training ship of the Italian Navy and often called the “most beautiful ship in the world,” will arrive in Puerto Vallarta in June as part of its second global circumnavigation, which began in June 2023.
Italian Ambassador to Mexico, Alessandro Modiano, announced this visit during a meeting with interim mayor Francisco José Martínez Gil.
Constructed in 1931 and designed by Francesco Rotundi, the ship honors Florentine navigator Amerigo Vespucci. It is 101 meters long, 15.5 meters wide, and weighs 4,000 tons. The Amerigo Vespucci has three masts, the tallest reaching 50 meters, and carries 26 sails. About 400 sailors are on board as the ship travels through three oceans and visits 28 countries over 20 months, training naval cadets.
Ambassador Modiano, along with Tommaso Coniglio and defense attaché Andrea Intermite, is organizing cultural and protocol activities with the Mexican Navy Secretariat. The Amerigo Vespucci will dock on Tuesday, June 18, with official events scheduled with Mexican authorities. Public tours will be available as follows:
Wednesday, June 19th from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm (general public)
Friday 21st from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm and 3:00 to 5:00 pm (students and general public)
Saturday 22: from 10:00 to 12:30 pm and from 2:30 to 7:00 pm (general public)
Please Note: To tour the ship, you must pre-register by phone at 322-222-0923 or in person at the main Tourism Office, located on the east side of the Municipal Palace (City Hall) in downtown Puerto Vallarta. Admission is free, but space is limited to 50 people for every half-hour tour, so reserve your spot TODAY!
Additionally, a scientific conference featuring specialists from the University of Guadalajara will take place on June 20, alongside tourist activities for the ship’s crew. The Amerigo Vespucci will depart on Sunday, June 23.
