Sevilla – Cádiz

Get on board the NAO VICTORIA and feel the experience of traveling on a replica of 500 years ago with which the first round-the-world trip was made. Relive how those sailors used to sail, the great feats they did on that ship and experience first hand the greatest maritime feat. Be part of the crew, using the same sailing techniques, with training on navigation, charts, sail use, knots, etc. And above all, feel the sensation of sailing a wooden boat, steered by a pintle.

Departing from the port of Seville and arriving at the port of Cadiz, this voyage has a duration of 1 day corresponding to 80 nautical miles (128 km). It will allow you to make an incredible voyage on the Guadalquivir River (the only navigable river in Spain), crossing the marshes until you reach the mouth of the river in Sanlucar de Barrameda to enter the Atlantic Ocean. Bordering the bay until reaching the city of Cadiz. Did you know that Cadiz is the oldest city in Spain and Europe? It was founded by Phoenician settlers and its streets show a great diversity of epochs. The cove, the great theater fails among other tourist interests that you can visit in this exciting city. An unforgettable experience aboard the Nao Victoria.

What it does not include

Transportation to and from the boat is at the expense of each person.

Sailing on the sailing boats of the Nao Victoria Foundation is a magnificent human, technical and natural experience. You will take part in the sailing watches and experience the camaraderie of people of different ages, cultures and backgrounds, all as fond of the sea and boats as you are. You will learn navigation techniques, manoeuvring, knots and rigging, as well as getting to recognise the main stars and constellations. And all this in a natural environment as different, indomitable and incredibly beautiful as the sea.

A mini adventure full of humanity. My dream since I was a child, to see the sails swell in the wind, with the bow cutting waves up and down. Swallowing the sky, swallowing the sea. I am one of those who never stop, I do not miss even the smallest detail and Nao Victoria and you have filled me. All my nights different, always ecstatic. Captain, crew a 10, volunteers, I have no scale to name your dedication, your courtesy, your bizarreness. Historically well prepared, I now admire even more those heroes who preceded us.

The person who decides to make a voyage aboard the nao Victoria will find: a wooden ship that tries to recreate the feeling of being in one of those primitive ships that achieved such great feats, with a crew of people enthusiastic about sailing, the history of Spain very close, attentive and friendly, which will allow us to participate in all maneuvers and activities.
