I knew that time in port is limited on these cruises, but I had no idea...

Having travelled most of the length of Norway, as far as Hammerfest, by coach in 1979, I was fascinated to watch this.

O'Docker: the live version was a tiny bit longer. According to the YouTube description:

"This time-lapse documents the 2600 km/134 hour journey of the Norwegian "Hurtigruten" from Bergen to Kirkenes, by some described as the world's most beautiful sea voyage. Norwegian public broadcaster NRK aired the entire journey live from the 16th to the 22nd of June 2011. Shortly after, Guinness Book of Records approved it as the longest continuously aired documentary in the world"

Apparently you can watch the whole 134 hours journey here (I think - my Norwegian is alas not that good. You might have to BitTorrent it)
