I went on the Baltic 1962 cruise from Tilbury. It was a memorable trip, we visited Russia which was amazing. Unfortunately we broke a propeller shaft so we couldn’t visit Helsinki. The BBC filmed the trip and this was screened on Boxing Day of 1962.

Wonder if that film is still around?

Hi, I was on that trip back in 1962 and yes it was filmed but by the then Southern Television and it was shown on Christmas Day at 6pm.
I got a copy of the film from the only source and that is the Wessex Film and Sound Archive. It cost me £16 a few years ago. The film is called School at Sea.
Hope that info helps.

  Hi Chris
  I can’t believe I have only just picked up your message in reply to my post on the Dunera school trip where you said you had a copy of the film. It would be fantastic if I could get a copy of your film. I was on the cruise with my boyfriend, who 29 years later eventually became my partner, but we only had 6 precious years together before he passed away with cancer so it would mean so much to me to get a copy of the film. I look forward to hearing from you. My email is ambleside21@hotmail.co.uk or mobile 07531302379 best wishes. Jill
