The great success that followed the research, development and multidisciplinary diffusion carried out during the great deed of a round-the-world trip sailing in a replica of a 16th century ship (Nao Victoria Project 2004-2006), encouraged a group of promoters, commanded by D.

Both Boats will depart from Spain and they will cross the Atlantic Ocean to reach Puerto Rico, where Juan Ponce de León began his expedition, and then continue the crossing to the coasts of Florida.

The nao and the Galleon will be considered of an extraordinaire interest and a great attraction at every port, because of his unmistakable figure and his status as diplomatic vessel. Promotional events, public visits, communication and media events and institutional acts will be organised at the different ports.

During the long ocean crossings, the Nao and Galleon will develop an important activity program of scientific research and social nature. There will be studies and projects to be carried out on the following areas: Marine Environment, Biodiversity, and Environmental Sciences.

During the voyage, TV recording devices could follow up the journey onboard the two boats, conducting workshops on various aspects of the history of these voyages: diet, sailing exercises, life onboard, health, etc…
