The trip actually started a week ago Anguis, was finished Wednesday I think, but the whole show is recorded and available.
A bit of background:
Hurtigruten, or Coastal Line, is a 100 year old shipping route, covering most of our coast. It was used for both passenger and goods transport before roads (and eventually, railroads build of the the Germans). Lately (last 20 years or so), it have become tourist attraction, foreigners like to travel on boats, enjoying the shifting nature along the coast, and finally, the midnight sun.
About half way in the video, you are close to where I'm from, breed, born and rised just 25 km east of Rørvik. There you will also see one of the old boats used (and still used) in traffic, quite a notch up, ain't it?
Seems like it's available in HD too
