Hurtigruten: Minutt for Minutt

 

This remarkable program is drawn from the award-winning, Guinness record-breaking 134 hour live broadcast documentary, titled Hurtigruten: Minutt for Minutt and produced in 2011 by NRK, Norway’s national broad- caster. So overwhelmingly popular, it was viewed by more than half the Norwegian population – even the Queen of Norway!

A Norway Passage: The Most Beautiful Voyage is the story of a voyage along more than 1,100 miles of Norway’s spectacular coastline on the Hurtigruten ship Nordnorge.

An Unforgettable Journey

 

This unforgettable journey presents stunning images as it takes its viewers from the cosmopolitan city of Bergen to Kirkenes in the far North, stopping along the way at the astounding Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site; the old Viking town of Trondheim, Norway’s traditional historic, religious and cultural capital; the picture postcard lovely Lofoten Islands, whose special beauty is praised by National Geographic; Tromsø, the gateway to the Arctic Ocean; Nordkapp, – North Cape – with its 1,000-foot-high sea cliff, at the very top of Scandinavia; and through the Barents Sea to the Russian border.
