This year's sailing season only begins on Wednesday, when Their Majesties officially board the historic ship and sail from Copenhagen to Helsingør. The crew's voyage to Stockholm has therefore been part of the training for the new conscripts, who in recent months have been at preparatory school before joining the ship's permanent crew.
