Freighter Cruising the Ocean

For those of you who have been following the blog, perhaps you have read our profile. One of the included interests is "ocean shipping".  Perhaps you may have interpreted that to mean we like spending time on ships ... cruise ships. Correct, but more than that we would like to spend time on a Freighter Cruise. Unknown to many, freighter ships have room for a very few passengers ... usually 10 or less. There is no fancy entertainment! However, the reports are that the food is excellent, accommodations are adequate, and the ports-of-call are amazing. Freighter ships can often get into smaller ports than larger cruise ships. Getting away from the tourist attractions can give you a more realistic view of what some parts of the world are like. We've been subscribing to a publication that is devoted to this way of travelling across the ocean. The publication is Freighter Cruises by MARIS. Just to give you the flavor here are a few covers ...

There's a lot to know about cruising on freighter ships.  We will cover some of that in future posts along with more Freighter Cruises covers.

Thank you for stopping by John's Island.
