Princess Leonor Concludes US Naval Training Voyage in New York

Princess Leonor concludes her American voyage in New York. The Spanish Royal Family's heir, Princess Leonor, has completed the American leg of her naval training voyage aboard the training ship Juan Sebastian Elcano. The ship arrived in New York City at 7:00 AM on June 4th, 2025 (1:00 PM in Spain). The arrival was marked by a poignant moment: before docking on the Hudson River, the Elcano's crew paid respects to the victims of the recent accident involving the Mexican training ship, Cuauhtémoc. A spokesperson for the Spanish Navy stated, "The Princess and the crew were deeply saddened by the tragedy and wanted to express their solidarity with the Mexican Navy." The Elcano will remain in New York until Tuesday before heading back to Spain, where the Princess will continue her training in Galicia and Asturias. This voyage represents a significant step in Princess Leonor's preparation for her future role within the Spanish Navy and the Royal Family.
