Check out They have a few routes online but you can ask them about any route. Freighters have just 12 maximum places set aside. More than that and they have to have a doctor on board. Some other outes I know about are LA to Australia, Europe to West Africa, Europe to Buenos Aires. There are some places you can't get on like Australia to Asia. You can't get on in the Gulf. Some places don't have a lot of exports or imports like the South Pacific and so no freighter trade. It is about $100 a day and includes all your meals but because it is the cargo that is most important you need to be a bit flexible about sailing times. The other advantages are you get to hang out on the bridge and with the crew. A great way to travel. Ryan
