Discovery of the Italian ship Amerigo Vespucci, one of the world's largest school sailing ships

We took advantage of her stopover in Marseille to discover the Amerigo Vespucci, Marina Militare's famous training ship. Despite more than 90 years of sailing around the world, the Amerigo Vespucci is still going strong and will once again cross the seas of the globe.

The Amerigo Vespucci, Marina Militare's training ship and ambassador of Italian culture, set sail in June 2023 on a 20-month round-the-world voyage. She will embark cadets from Livorno's naval academy, to complete their apprenticeship and teach them the rudiments of navigation on a - very - large sailing ship.
