The final moment of Hurtigruten minutt for minutt. A five day TV marathon in the midnight sun.
Hurtigruten, the Norwegian Express Line, has for well over 100 years been the backbone of coastal Norway, bringing people and goods up and down the weatherbeaten west coast towards the north of Norway. A fleet of 11 ships service 34 ports from Bergen to Kirkenes, covering a distance comparable to the distance Oslo -- Tunisia. Daily, and all year round, regardless of weather. In its heyday, this earned the line its nickname National Highway 1.
