Trans-Atlantic Sailings - A Few Frequently Answered Questions:
1. How much will it cost me to cross the Atlantic ? Firstly, you shouldn't think of sea travel as a way to beat an air fare - it isn't. Unlike flying, it can be a richly rewarding experience. You should expect to pay a minimum of $1,250 to $1,500 per person each way, depending on the route and the cabin. Sea travel is only cheaper than flying when you consider the many days you will spend on board (compared to a hotel stay ashore) with three full meals a day and a private cabin. And drinks on board cargo ships are not only tax and duty free, but also profit free (what we call bonded stock).
2. Can I work on board to lower my fare? Briefly, No. Thirty or forty years ago crews numbered 39 to 49 people but today, with automation, crew size is more like 21, so don't even think about asking if you can work your way over. There just aren't enough jobs to go round for the real seamen.
3. What about single (and female) travellers? Freighters have the great advantage of being inexpensive for single travellers, often with no single supplement for single cabins. And single women may travel without fear - the crews of these ships are accommodating and welcoming - most of them have wives and girlfriends at home. Single female travellers are among the more important groups who travel this way.
4. How quickly can I sail across the Atlantic? Relax. You won't get there in just 5 days. Most Trans-Atlantic freighter voyages take 10 to 14 days and even Queen Mary 2 takes 6 days. The fastest freighter passage is 7 days on Canada Maritime from Montreal to the UK or Le Havre to Montreal or 8 days on CMA CGM The French Line from Lisbon to New York.
5. How accurate are sailing schedules? Dates for QM2 and cruise ships are unlikely to change unless there is a realignment of schedules. Container ship sailings are usually year-round, but dates are subject to change due to cargo or weather. Take care to make flexible arrangements, eg. changeable flight tickets and allowing time for connections. Tramp sailings depend on cargo and are less reliable than container ships.
6. Can I take my pet or my vehicle with me? Soon, no longer. Those wishing to take with them their pets need to know that Cunard Line's QM2 between New York and Southampton will be closing her kennels in November 2005. Shipment of vehicles likewise needs to be arranged with an outside company as vehciles are not carried on QM2 as they were in the past on QE2.
