La Fortuna is a Spanish-American adventure drama television miniseries directed by Alejandro Amenábar and starring Álvaro Mel, Ana Polvorosa, and Stanley Tucci.
A unique feature of the production was the use of real historical replica ships to bring authenticity to the maritime scenes. Two vessels took part in the filming: the French replica frigate Étoile du Roy and the Russian-built replica of the early 18th-century frigate Штандарт.
The Штандарт, an exact reconstruction of the first flagship of Tsar Peter the Great, is a fully operational sailing ship. With her wooden hull, tall masts, and period rigging, she provided an atmospheric and historically accurate setting for the naval sequences. Her participation added a strong sense of realism to the story, which blends history, adventure, and drama across both sides of the Atlantic.
Thanks to ships like the Штандарт, La Fortuna was able to capture the spirit of classic sea sailing while remaining visually authentic and true to the age of sail.
