THE GALEÓN ANDALUCÍA VISITS LIVERPOOL FOR THE FIRST TIME

Unique replica of the legendary Spanish galleons from history

First visit to the city, port stop on its grand European 2025 tour

It will open to the public visitation from September 25 to October 5 at Royal Albert Dock

September 25, 2025 – The Galeón Andalucía is sailing to Liverpool for the first time and is expected to arrive today at 13,15 h. at the Royal Albert Dock, where it will remain docked. From today, September 25, until October 5, it will be open to the public. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore its decks and learn about the history of these legendary Spanish ships.

The Galeón Andalucía is a unique replica of the Spanish galleons that departed from the Andalusian coasts and, between the 16th and 18th centuries, sailed the Atlantic, navigated the Caribbean and American coasts, and covered the vast Pacific route, connecting and communicating the world. It is an impressive 55-meter-long ship with six decks, made from iroko and pine wood, and nearly 1,000 square meters of sail area across its seven sails. It was built in Punta Umbría (Huelva) with meticulous historical accuracy.

Liverpool is one of the port stops on its grand 2025 European tour, during which it will visit ports in Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands. At the end of the year, it will cross the Atlantic and begin an American tour. Throughout this journey, the ship will participate in major international festivals and events, sailing as an authentic and unique floating museum of Andalusian maritime heritage and the history of these legendary ships that connected the world’s continents for three centuries.

A true floating museum of maritime culture, the Galeón has already sailed over 100,000 nautical miles across oceans and seas, visiting ports on four continents, including London, Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila, New York, and Quebec—proudly promoting the Spanish universal culture.

From September 25 to October 5, public can explore its five decks and learn about its details, navigation, the daily life of its crew, and its own unique story. The experience is enriched by boarding a ship that still sails the world’s seas with a young crew who share astonishing tales from their long voyages.
