King Frederik and Queen Mary are ready to set sail in the Danish waters and island communities during their first sailing season as Denmark’s royal couple. The official summer cruise, running from August 19 to 22, will take them past several Danish gems, including Bornholm, Ærø, Assens, and finally Vejle. The cruise begins in Bornholm on August 19, where the royal couple will meet the locals and participate in various cultural events. The journey will then continue to Ærø and Assens before concluding in Vejle on August 22.
Along the way, the royals will use the royal yacht “Dannebrog,” which will also be their home on the water throughout the summer. In addition to the Danish summer cruise, the royal couple has planned visits to both Greenland and the Faroe Islands during June and July. These visits are part of their official duties and will focus on strengthening the relationships between Denmark and the two autonomous territories.
It is the first time that King Frederik and Queen Mary are sailing as Denmark’s official royal couple, and their sailing season begins on May 2 when they board the “Dannebrog.” The summer will therefore bring a number of exciting and significant events for the royal house, which will be closely followed by both Danish and international media.
The royal house has issued a press release about the summer cruise, expressing joy and anticipation about meeting many Danes along the way on their journey. It will be a summer filled with tradition and renewal, where the royal couple will be able to show their support and love for various parts of the realm.
