Her Danish Majesty's Yacht Dannebrog (A540) is the Royal Yacht of the Queen of Denmark. The Dannebrog was built at the Naval Dockyards in Copenhagen in 1931 and was commissioned on 26 May 1932. She replaced the previous Royal Yacht, also named Dannebrog (a paddle steamer), which was built in 1879. Dannebrog is the name of the flag of Denmark.
The yacht now serves as the official and private residence for HM The Queen, HRH the Prince Consort and members of the Royal Family when they are on official visits overseas and on summer cruises in Danish waters.
