The Regent Couple will be sailed in a chalup to Paketkajen in Marstal Harbour, where Mayor Peter Hansted, among others, will welcome Their Majesties. At the reception, a ninefold cheer is given out, and the Navy's Tamburkorps plays "King Christian". The Regent Couple are then accompanied along the harbour via Honnørkajen, Pakhusvej and Havnegade to Motorfabrikken Marstal at Eriksens Plads. Official reception at Motorfabrikken Marstal 13:25 pm Upon arrival at Motorfabrikken Marstal, the King and Queen are welcomed by owners Nina Rydahl Andersen, Julie Skaar and Lone Søndergaard. The Regent Couple gets a brief introduction to the 120-year-old factory, which from 1934-1995 produced petrol engines for fishing dinghies across the Commonwealth of Nations. In 2007, the three returning Marstaller women bought the dilapidated factory and have created a cultural powerhouse, immigration magnet and most recently FabLab Ærø. Mayor Peter Hansted gives an official welcome speech in the machine hall for the King and Queen and introduces the municipal council members in Ærø Municipality.

Their Majesties will then be given a tour of the electric ferry. "Ellen" was put into operation in 2019 on the route between Søby on Ærø and Fynshav on Als. It is the world's longest-reaching electric ferry, with a range that in 2019 was seven times longer than any other fully electric car ferry. Visit to Søbygaard 3:30 pm At the old manor house Søbygaard from 1580, leader Stine Spøring welcomes the Regent Couple together with chairman of Søbygaard Karen Margrethe Fabricius and chairman of Søbygaard's Friends Elsebeth Knudsen.
