NRK - Hurtigruten

A great welcome into Kirkenes now - along with some helicopter shots, water cannon salute - and I'm sure I misheard this, but I think the announcement on board said the King was there. (Maybe it was just 'the majesty of Kirkenes', or the name of another ship that passengers could transfer to.)

They've got some cameras on the ground too - I like how a small amount of planning means they can receive them from on board.

Perhaps no King. But the transport minister and the mayor just welcomed the captain. It also looks like the entire town has turned out as a welcome party...

...and finally off air. We got a goodbye from the presenter (I love the knitted microphone shield), a lovely best-of montage, and some end credits.

Thank you to all nice, helpful and fine people on board on the MS Nordnorge. Thank you to all who stood along the lane and made it a national celebration.

The live stream appears to just be NRK2 - it had a couple of trails (including one for Country House Rescue ), and we're straight into the next programme...

... superb experience. Now to resist the website rerun for a while.

Must resist but the Replay is now online all 134hrs 43mins and 45seconds.

Five minute timelapse of the whole trip from the Creative Commons licensed bow camera feed.

and the voyage is now recognised by The Guinness book of World records as the world's longest ever documentary programme
