In 2025, King Frederik X (56) and Queen Mary (53), the dynamic Danish royals, followed in the royal footsteps dating back to the 19th century, embarking on a summer cruise through the beautiful Danish waters onboard the historic Dannebrog. This exciting journey kicked off on a sunny Wednesday from Nordre Toldbod in Copenhagen.
Sun, Sand, and Seaside Elegance
The event commenced with a grand salute of 27 cannon shots and a triumphant sail to Helsingør, where the royal duo received a majestic salute from the iconic Kronborg Castle. Snaps from the season's starting point capture the couple's infectious smiles, waving to the adoring crowd, and moments of intimacy aboard. For this special day, Queen Mary opted for a stunning floral midiskirt in blue and white, paired with a dark blue hat and a matching wrap blazer, while King Frederik donned his uniform. Classy and elegant as ever!
The royal family's time-honored tradition of cruising aboard the Dannebrog dates back to Christian IX (1818-1906). In 2025, King Frederik and Queen Mary officially began the season on May 7.
After their sailing adventure, Frederik and Mary are scheduled to set course for the Faroe Islands from June 11-13, 2025, followed by their first major tour of the year from August 25-28. Their nautical escapade begins in the municipality of Frederikshavn on the island of Jutland, followed by a stopover in Thisted on August 26, and at the island of Læsø on August 27, concluding on the picturesque island of Samsø.

Behind the Throne: A Glimpse at the Royals' Lives
Frederik X and Mary are Denmark’s ruling monarch and queen consort, respectively. They share their lives with their four offspring: the future Crown Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, and the twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine. Residing primarily in Copenhagen, the family recently moved to the Chancellery House at Fredensborg Palace, a cherished historic residence for the Danish royal family[1][2]. This relocation marks a return to the palace where Queen Margrethe’s mother, Queen Ingrid, once called home. The location holds a romantic significance for Frederik and Mary, as it was their first married nest in 2004.
The couple's official duties involve royal tours, engagements, and public appearances. Not too long ago, they embarked on their first official journey to Greenland, where King Frederik addressed the audience with a heartfelt speech highlighting the unbreakable bond between Denmark and Greenland[4].
Unfortunately, specific details about their upcoming August major tour remain elusive in the most recent sources[1][2][4]. But keep your binoculars ready, as these marine magnates are known for their active schedules and frequent official excursions!
