Hi!
Out of the gate this one is beyond the type of travel we do.
Two reviewers really like this book on Cargo Ship travel. On the plus side the book is dirt cheap, on the down side its ancient being last updated in the mid 90's. Just copy and paste this address to the book which is: Travel by Cargo Ship by Hugo Verlomme,
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1860110355/103-6017593-2577437?v=glance&n=28315...
Despite its age this is just the book to point you in many of the right directions. Assume much into is outdated so that whenever you contact a company always ask if they still do this or that routing and whether they can point you to newer cargo companies in areas of your travel interest.
Other than this book I'd say solid web research will do the trick....at least so far as amassing all available current info.
Good Luck. _________________ Mark my words ~ Eat well three times a day at virginia bed and breakfast inn.

Hello
ACCOMMODATIONS: We felt guilty at how nice the accommodations were. We'd envisioned roughing it across the ocean, but instead, we were put up in a very nice sixth-floor cabin, 320 square feet (30 square meters) in size, with a large sitting room, a bedroom with a queen-sized bed, and small private bathroom. It was essentially a tiny apartment, with furniture, built-in storage, and electronics (CD and DVD players). Crew members spend four months at a time on board, so their rooms are thoughtfully designed to be snug, but comfortable, living spaces. We loved the design details--a discreet built-in retractable clotheslines in the bathroom, a reading light right next to the bed, a desk with handy power outlets, and lots of mirrors to make the space appear larger and brighter. We had access to a shared washer and dryer, a gym room (where we played ping pong), a sauna, and a swimming pool (not filled because of the ship's rocking). We were able to look out the window or step outside anytime to see the ocean. This was the opposite of transoceanic flight, with all its hurry, security theater, and cramped antiseptic spaces. _________________ Limited Companies |
