She spoke to the country’s state television, HRT.
“I fell off the back of the Norwegian Star and I was in the water for 10 hours, so these wonderful guys rescued me,” Longstaff told HRT.
Longstaff told The Sun that she was able to survive because she is fit from doing yoga and she sang to stop feeling the cold.
The ship was on its way to Venice, the BBC reported.
