Traveling by freighter

Usually I write about things that I enjoy - or have enjoyed. Today I want to draw your attention to something I would like to do (hopefully in the near future): To travel by a freighter that accepts passengers. As I am not the kind of person who enjoys hundreds - or even thousands - of fellow passengers, I think that traveling by freighter probably would be ideal for myself. Lots of time to enjoy the sceneries, read, listen to music, eat and drink without having to participate in all kinds of organised events ....

An excellent introduction to life aboard a freighter taking passengers:

There is much to choose from when it comes to routes and destinations starting from coastal lines in the Mediterranean to around the world trips lasting up to three months. Here are some of the sites that specialise in freighter trips for passengers:

For my planning I have also ordered this book, which should be good reading.

PS
If and when my plans will actually materialise, I will certainly let you know ....
