In the last years there have been quite a few stories about these sort of trips.<p>While they were interesting to read at first, I have the feeling these trips come down to pretty much nothing, that is, hours and hours stuck in a room without much to do&#x2F;see. Even if you&#x27;re lucky with a crew&#x2F;fellow passengers that provides you with some conversations&#x2F;activities, they&#x27;re usually nothing out of the ordinary or worth even telling. This doesn&#x27;t mean they can be meaninful to oneself, but well... A good travel journal is like cooking a dish where you have the main ingredient (what happened&#x2F;what u did) and the spices (the context, research and extra infos). Here you only have the second part as you spend a month doing little, seeing less, and sorry but everyone has that in their kitchen.<p>That said, large ships and cargo managememt are very interesting from the physics and technical sides, but these are hardly ever covered...
