Warrenpoint Harbour will be visited by a Spanish Galleon on a 5-day visit
An imposing historic vessel arrives in Warrenpoint: the Galeón Andalucía. Moored at Warrenpoint Harbour, it will invite the public, from June 17th to 21st, to come aboard to walk its decks and discover what life was like on these fabulous ships that sailed the oceans for centuries.
This visit is one of the ship’s port calls in the UK during its 2026 tour.
The vessel is a unique replica of the Spanish galleons that, for three centuries, linked Andalusia and Spain with America and Asia. It stands as a symbol of the most universal Andalusia, reflecting an era when this region was the ideal launchpad for the maritime expeditions that explored the world and initiated globalization.
The Galeón Andalucía is an impressive 55-meter-long ship featuring six decks, meticulously built from iroko and pine wood. It boasts nearly 1,000 square meters of sail area spread across seven sails.
Built by the Fundación Nao Victoria in Punta Umbría (Andalusia, Spain) with rigorous historical accuracy, it showcases the thousands-of-years-old maritime tradition of the Andalusian community.
This ship has already covered hundreds of thousands of nautical miles across the globe, visiting ports on four continents—such as London, Liverpool, Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila, New York, and Quebec—welcoming thousands of visitors at every stop.
Today, it travels as a floating ambassador for Andalusia as a tourist destination, as part of its grand 2026 European tour through several cities in France, England, Ireland, and Northern Europe.
Over the coming days, Warrenpoint will dress itself in maritime history and the vibrant colors of Andalusia.
This is a unique opportunity to step onto the decks of this legendary ship, learn about the daily lives of the crew members who once connected worlds and oceans, and understand how it still sails thousands of miles today as an imposing floating museum of universal Andalusian history and maritime culture.
