NORWAY loves cruising.
A documentary described by CNN as “the
most boring program in the world, but
absolutely addictive”, which used 11
cameras onboard a Hurtigruten ship to film
a cruise minute by minute in real time,
proved so popular that even Norway’s
queen got in on the action.
Titled Minute by Minute, the documentary
has just won a bunch of awards for basically
showing a Hurtigruten cruise along the
Norwegian coast.
“The momentum built as it moved up the
coast and it became a bit of a
one-upmanship in the different ports
where people were turning out including
locals, schools, mayors and bands,” said
Hurtigruten MD Kathryn Beadle.
“Even the Prime Minister Tweeted about
it, and the Queen of Norway in her own
yacht, actually met the vessel as it arrived
in Kirkenes,” she added.
