Confirmed for 2027 · Portugal

Vera Cruz

three-masted topsail schooner — one of the first ships confirmed for the Armada de Rouen 2027.

About the ship

A Portuguese three-masted topsail schooner that evokes the great age of Iberian exploration. The Vera Cruz brings a touch of Portugal's seafaring history to the Armada.

What to look for

Like the rest of the fleet, Vera Cruz will be moored along the Rouen quays from 17–27 June 2027, and boarding is free. Go early in the day to climb aboard before the queues build — the most famous ships draw crowds by mid-morning. See the full fleet and the programme.

Boarding times & sailings: the official schedule (and any day-sail or cruise options) is released closer to the event. Join the list and we'll send it as soon as it's out. Prefer to sail rather than just visit? See our experiences and Seine cruises.
