The Amerigo Vespucci, the historic sailing ship and training vessel of the Italian Navy (Marina Militare), is sailing towards Honolulu and will reach the Honolulu Harbor (Pier 9 - Aloha Tower) on July 25th! This stop, from July 25th to 28th, 2024, will mark the 21st stage of its World Tour, following an 18/day, 2,500-mile-long voyage from Los Angeles.
This is the Ship's second visit to the capital of Hawaii -- the first occurred in 2002 during its first World Tour. The Amerigo Vespucci, the custodian of the oldest naval and maritime traditions for over 90 years, is one of the most well-known symbols of Italy in the World.
The Vespucci "World Tour" initiative, strongly supported by Italy’s Minister of Defense Guido Crosetto, combines the traditional training activities of the Officer Cadets with the promotion of Made in Italy excellence. The Vespucci is the emblem of the Italian Navy and of Italy itself: in the wake of maritime traditions, it has enhanced the country's prestige over the years. The ship departed on July 1, 2023, from the Port of Genoa to circumnavigate the globe over about 2 years, carrying with it the culture, history, innovation, science, research and technology that make Italy a great Country, appreciated worldwide.
The full program of activities is available here.
