During this visit, the couple conducted an extensive tour of the Upper Midwest, where many Norwegian immigrants had settled.

During the tour, Crown Princess Märtha was honored with initiation into the Delta Zeta sorority. She and her lady-in-waiting were pinned during the initiation ceremony at the University of North Dakota, by Delta Zeta national president, Myrtle Graeter Malott.

This voyage represented their return trip to Norway.

They Traveled to the United States on the New SS Oslofjord and Returned to Norway on the SS Stavangerfjord. Here, the Crown Prince's Family is Seen on Their Arrival in Oslo.
