Many people are becoming interested in our article on how to travel on cargo ships, and now I want to give you some other alternatives to travel in cargo ships that I have found in the Student Travel page, a website that offers information and prices about it. In it you can find different alternatives to travel by boat either on a cargo one or on cruises at a very reasonable price.
Student Travel is a page in English, which as you can imagine is intended for students and young people wanting to have adventures, but for this there is no age limit.
There is a continuous network of cargo ships going from one place to another on the planet that offer the possibility of adding you to their line of passengers, but keep in mind that you will not find bargains and that is that the premise is that traveling by cargo ship is more expensive than traveling by plane. The rates, depending on the company chosen, range between 45 and 90 euros per day per person, and includes food and bed. One detail, you can always haggle and get a better price, but abandon the romantic idea of changing accommodation and travel for work, this does not usually work.
Due to the wingspan Of cargo ships, they usually take longer to reach their destination than cruise ships, for example, from California to Tokyo it takes 13 days. But in this type of adventure, the important thing is not the final destination, but the journey itself.
Cargo ships generally have a scheduled route, It involves going and back to the same port, but the interesting thing is that you can buy a one-way ticket to the port you are interested in arriving and change ships there, designing your own itinerary through the oceans, or transportation.
