container ship travel

[Justimagine]

Greetings Rostocker - I'm very interested in your post and information about the Rickmers Line. I investigated the possibilities but didn't find them, booked QM2 instead for my first voyage. Makes no sense, I know, but will find my freighter later. I'm most interested in Europe to Asia thru Suez, etc. Have travel often, all over and alone, now 65, and feel this is the next step. I'd love to hear from you.

To Abarb, "I have myself done two container ship voyages as a passenger first with P&O Nedlloyd aboard the m.v. 'City of Cape Town' from 2nd sept to 24th oct 2004, the route i travelled was from Tilbury to South Africa & back via Germany & the Canary Islands."

Well, I travelled from Tilbury to Australia on the same ship, "working my passage" when it was the 'Tolaga Bay' in 1983 - it was already 6 years old then and having engine problems. I'm amazed it has/had lasted so long (last tracked it in 2007). I got off because it was diverted to the Falklands! As an 18 year old I got up to some amazing adventures with the crew - happy memories.

Was curious of the cost of this type of cruise. I know accomedations vary depending on what type of ship you sail, but are there general several different categories of cabins.....?

I guess the likelihood that anyone here has sailed on the Hanjin Palermo or CC Jamaica or CC Coral is low?

I recently returned to Long Beach CA from Auckland on the Natalie Schultz a container ship. Quite enjoyable and very relaxing.
