On June 1, 2026, King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark arrived at the Port of Odense aboard the Royal Yacht Dannebrog as part of the traditional 2026 summer tour. Odense is the third-largest city in Denmark. Upon arrival, the King and Queen were welcomed by Mayor Peter Rahbæk Juel. They were then officially received at Odense City Hall.
The King and Queen walked from Odense City Hall to Eventyrhaven, accompanied by the “Blue Watchmen.” In the 18th century, these watchmen patrolled the streets of Odense to maintain order and warn residents in the event of fire. The King and Queen also visited Odense Cathedral, also known as Saint Canute’s Church.
The King and Queen’s summer voyage began in Odense Municipality and will continue with a visit to Norddjurs Municipality on June 2. After a day at sea on June 3, the 2026 summer cruise will conclude with a visit to Holbæk Municipality on June 4.
