Italian Navy Ship Amérigo Vespucci Drawing Enthusiastic Crowds in Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico — The arrival of the Italian Navy ship, Amérigo Vespucci, in Puerto Vallarta has created a significant buzz, attracting hundreds of visitors eager to experience one of the most beautiful ships in the world. The majestic vessel, renowned for its elegance and historical significance, has become a major attraction for both locals and tourists.

Reynalda Camarillo, a resident of Puerto Vallarta, shared her excitement after visiting the ship. “Excellent, magnificent, the attention of the sailors and all the staff on the ship was excellent. It seemed to me that I went back to the 30s, very nice,” she said, reflecting the sentiments of many who attended the guided tours.

Alma Moreno, another Vallarta native, was equally impressed. “It is fabulous, very beautiful, the fact that it is made of pure fine wood, and the route is incredible. I invite everyone to come and see it,” she urged, highlighting the ship’s exquisite craftsmanship and inviting others to share in the experience.

The ship’s historical allure also captivated Isela Esparza, who remarked, “It is a very cool, very beautiful experience. A ship with a lot of history. That they visited us here in Puerto Vallarta is worthy of admiration.”

Visitors from outside Puerto Vallarta also flocked to see the Amérigo Vespucci. Sergio Moya, from San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora, expressed his awe while visiting the ship with his family. “A very beautiful thing, very historical, very beautiful; We looked at it for the first time and thought it was quite beautiful,” he said, while his grandson, Javier López, added, “Very good experience, really, good service and I’m really impressed by how well cared for the boat is.”

The ship’s visit holds special significance for Salvatore di Trapani, originally from Palermo, Italy. Having served in the Italian Military Navy, he felt a deep sense of pride seeing the Amérigo Vespucci in Mexico. “I was in service for 18 months in a department of the Secretariat of the Italian Military Navy, and it is a pride for me that this ship is in Mexico today,” he expressed.

The nearly 100-year-old Amérigo Vespucci is the only ship of its kind still in service. As part of its world tour, it chose Puerto Vallarta as the sole Mexican port to dock, an honor that fills the city and the state of Jalisco with pride.

The Amérigo Vespucci’s visit has not only provided an opportunity for residents and tourists to witness a piece of maritime history but also strengthened cultural ties between Mexico and Italy, leaving an indelible mark on those who had the chance to step aboard this legendary vessel.
