The Cryrian Royal Flotilla is the personal fleet of the House of Leidensen. It ranges from modern superyachts to traditional sailing vessels.
The House of Leidensen once held direct ownership and ultimate command over their personal fleet of warships, and historically relied on maritime power to maintain its control of the Kingdom. This is reflected in the Drifting Throne, which gained its name from being transported by ship during the days of Cryria's itinerant court. As the Kingdom's bureaucracy developed and expanded, the institution of the Royal Cryrian Navy was increasingly formalized and operational command grew ever more distant from the Monarchy. By the time constitutionalism was fully established in the 19th-century, the Monarchy's role in naval affairs was customarily limited to purely ceremonial matters. At this time, a separate discretionary flotilla was established for the royal household's personal use, and this became known as the Cryrian Royal Flotilla.
Today the Cryrian Royal Flotilla remains completely independent of the RCRN and is paid for directly by the House of Leidensen's personal funds, though it frequently makes use of personnel from the RCRN and the Royal Guard for its operation.
Bases
The Cryrian Royal Flotilla is traditionally based at the Port of Leidenstad, though some of its smaller vessels are capable of sailing up the River Leiden to Lake Lasi, and anchor at Tvillingblom Palace.
Vessels
At present, the Royal Flotilla is centered upon two yachts and a single support ship. It also operates a traditional sailing ship as well as two smaller coastal vessels capable of navigating Älmark's river network. Ships of the Royal Flotilla are the only Cryrian vessels to bear the appellation of "His/Her Majesty's Ship," reflecting their direct association with the Crown. Ships of the regular navy are in turn referred to as "Royal Cryrian Navy Ships."
