Amerigo Vespucci 2026 tour and Ravenna visit

Overview

The Italian Navy training ship Amerigo Vespucci conducted a series of international and domestic visits as part of its 2026 instruction campaign. Following its arrival at the Port of Cádiz, Spain, where it offered free public access in early September, the vessel returned to Italy to conclude its North America Tour. The domestic itinerary included stops in Cagliari, Castellammare di Stabia, and Naples. The campaign reached its final stages in Trieste between October 8 and 12, coinciding with the 58th edition of the Barcolana regatta. This visit marked the conclusion of a 156-day journey that began in Genoa on May 9, 2026, covering over 15,000 miles. To mark the end of the mission, several events were held in Trieste, including the inauguration of the ‘In Italia’ village and a preview of the docufilm ‘L’Italia a vele spiegate’. The program also featured forums on Arctic routes and a discussion titled ‘Underwater Dominance: Italy as a Global Underwater Protagonist’, which addressed the strategic importance of subsea technology and the protection of critical underwater infrastructure. A notable inclusion initiative led by Minister for Disabilities Alessandra Locatelli allowed approximately 1,000 people with disabilities to board the vessel during the Trieste visit. As part of the initiatives celebrating Ravenna as the ‘Italian Capital of the Sea 2026’, the Amerigo Vespucci docked at Marina di Ravenna from October 14 to 18. During this five-day stay, the local administration hosted the ‘Villaggio Ravenna’, featuring maritime institutions and cultural entities. Scheduled events included a free concert by the Italian Navy's departmental fanfare at the Teatro Alighieri on October 16, alongside guided tours of the Marina di Ravenna lighthouse and the Underwater Activities Museum (Mas). Due to high demand, the reservation website for public visits through Ravenna Incoming experienced significant technical issues and heavy traffic when booking slots opened.
