Freighters to Europe
 

Does anyone know anything about traveling from the USA to Europe by freighter in December 1999? Looking for a cheap way to get to France by boat from NYC. Fear of flying!!!

Hi Joan! <BR>I am in the shipping biz, (ie cargo), and i do not know of any of my competitors that still do this on the trans atlantic trade. I would suggest calling the New York Steamship Assoc., they MAY be able to stear you in the right direction. Good Luck.

Thanks Rod! That was a quick reply. I will call the NY Steamship Assoc. on Monday.

Hi, Joan, <BR>The biggest US-based freighter cruise agency is in LA; their web address is: http://www.freighterworld.com/index.html <BR> <BR>We did a transpacific freighter cruise in December (better weather than the Atlantic, I imagine), and loved it. Good luck!

Thanks for the info! I'll look into it.Don't want to fly to LA from NYC though.
