In July 2026 the Norwegian royal family began its annual summer cruise aboard the royal vessel Norge, arriving in Kristiansand on 27 July. King Harald V, Queen Sonja and several of their children and grandchildren toured the Kunstsilo art centre and visited the Lindesnes lighthouse before moving westward. Crown Princess Mette‑Marit was absent due to a lung transplant recovery.

Later, for September 2026, King Harald and Queen Sonja announced a separate tour of three municipalities in the Trøndelag region, continuing the season’s public engagements across Norway.

The two snapshots together trace the royal family’s seasonal itinerary, moving from a July cruise and public appearances on the southern coast to a planned September visit in central Norway.
