The summer season is officially underway for crew and officers on the Royal Norwegian Ship. On Thursday afternoon, King Harald and Crown Prince Haakon embarked the ship for inspection.
The tradition of royal embarkation dates back to 1948 when King Haakon VII received
‘Norway’ as a gift from the Norwegian people. Due to the ongoing global health emergency, the 2021 sailing programme is not yet ready, but the Royal Yacht will be seen sailing along the Norwegian coast during the summer. During the ceremony, the King inspected this year’s crew. He also examined the ship and made sure everything was as it should be before having a short chat with the captain and another military commander on board the boat. The King then declared his official approval that everything was as it should be.
