She is eighty-year old but is ready to sail with her crew of cadets and sailors for her annual summer training cruise in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
The “Vespucci” will call on the ports of Salina (Aeolian Islands), Valletta (Malta), Beirut (Lebanon), Limassol (Cyprus), Istanbul (Turkey), Odessa and Sevastopol (Ukraine), Piraeus (Greece).
A scheduled visit to the port of Haifa in Israel was canceled and replaced with the stop in Beirut.
The last stop, before returning to Livorno in September, will be Castellammare di Stabia were the ship was built eighty years go.
We wish to the “Amerigo Vespucci” a belated Happy Birthday and to all our American friends a timely Happy 4th of July!Search labels: Amerigo Vespucci

It is a beautiful vessel, VP, and you images are excellent. Thank you for your salute to America.
Thanks for recognizing our nation's birthday! Those cadets are pretty lucky to be sailing on this glorious ship
This would be an experience to remember just to sail on this ship. Have a good Monday!
Great shots from every angle but the one of the rigging is so impressive.
I hope someday she will be able to sail into Haifa Bay.
I had hoped for this yesterday!

Brilliant images VP, a fantastic sailing ship, what a complicated set of rigging she has, love the immaculate lifeboats hanging over the sides, she looks like she's a well loved and well cared for 'old dame'.
Absolutely gorgeous! The 4th shot is amazing, VP.
Those are some riggings. Love these images of the ship.
All those ropes and sails look so complicated! But what a beauty! :D
