This isn&#x27;t as hard as it looks --- lots of freighters are set up to carry passengers. (Apparently about 1%, but that&#x27;s still many thousands of ships.) You&#x27;re basically staying in officer&#x27;s quarters. The reviews I&#x27;ve seen all comment on the cabins and food all being plain but really good. There appears to be no internet (but you can make satellite calls at €5 a minute).<p>Pricing is reasonable by hotel standards, about €100 a day, but of course you have to pay for the entire voyage. A transatlantic voyage from Felixstowe to New York takes about 12 days. If you have 130 days to spare, you can do a round-the-world trip.<p>There seems to be quite a community doing it, mostly older people. They&#x27;re not cruise liners, so there&#x27;s no entertainment --- it&#x27;s definitely for the self-reliant only. And, of course, the ship&#x27;s going to <i>cargo</i> ports, so everywhere the ship calls will be in the middle of nowhere.<p>See here for more information (yes, I&#x27;ve thought of doing a trip):<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.freightercruises.com&#x2F;q_a_freighter_cruise_guide.php" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.freightercruises.com&#x2F;q_a_freighter_cruise_guide....</a>
