Whether you are starting from Australia or New Zealand, Europe, Asia, North America, Africa, South America or small pockets within the continents like around the Mediterranean or the Caribbean in cargo ship.\n\nIn addition, just like an airline, shipping companies offer one-way or return trips as well as segments of a long route. For example, the line I traveled on, connects Europe to Asia, which takes approximately two months. Given my time and financial restraints though for your <a href=\"https:\/\/cargoholidays.com\/it\/cargo-ship-travel-uk-to-usa-cargo-travel\/\">cargo ship<\/a> in rough seas, I choose to only book for a 4 week period in rough seas.\n\n<\/p>\n\n<!-- Blog Image -->\n                                        <a data-lightbox=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/cargoholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cargo-ship-travel-cargo-cruise-with-cargoholidays14.jpg\" alt=\"How to find the best CARGO SHIP TRAVEL or cargo travel deals\" class=\"hoverBorder pull-left\" style=\"margin-right: 20px;margin-bottom:4px;\">\n                                            <span class=\"hoverBorderWrapper\">\n                                                <img src=\"https:\/\/cargoholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cargo-ship-travel-cargo-cruise-with-cargoholidays14.jpg\" title=\"How to find the best CARGO SHIP TRAVEL or cargo travel deals\" alt=\"How to find the best CARGO SHIP TRAVEL or cargo travel deals\">\n                                                <span class=\"theHoverBorder\"><\/span> \n                                            <\/span>\n                                        <\/a>\n                                        <!--\/ Blog Image --> \n  \n \n<p>\n\nThere are only a handful of freight <a href=\"https:\/\/cargoholidays.com\/it\/what-is-it-like-to-travel-on-a-cargo-ship\/\">travel agencies that can help you book a cargo ship<\/a> holiday.\n\nFor those that want to do everything by themselves, it is also possible to reach certain companies directly for a quote. CMA-CGM is one of the companies that actively advertises their <a href=\"https:\/\/cargoholidays.com\/it\/cargo-ship-accommodation-for-passenger-freight-travel-by-sea\/\">freight travel<\/a> services on their website. To get specific information, sailing dates and quotes for most companies, however, you will have to send out an email and get in touch with local agents in <a href=\"https:\/\/cargoholidays.com\/it\/cargo-ship-cruises-prices-for-the-season-2022\/\">cargo ship<\/a> in rough seas.\n\nAfter doing a ton of research, and sourcing as much of the free information available online as I could, I used <a href=\"https:\/\/cargoholidays.com\/it\/transatlantic-freighter-travel-to-usa\/\">Freighter Travel<\/a> from New Zealand. The owner, Hamish, was incredibly helpful to deal with and put up with all my questions and concerns from start to finish and prepare for <a href=\"https:\/\/cargoholidays.com\/it\/cargo-ship-cruises-prices-for-2023-season\/\">cargo ship<\/a>.\n\nWe are talking more than 60 emails!\n\n\nWhat to say on your first email?\n\nestimated departure date\nPoint A to point B (broader gives your more options)\na budget\nMost popular routes book far in advance. Yes, you might think that nobody <a href=\"https:\/\/cargoholidays.com\/it\/cargo-ship-travel-booking-and-travel-by-ship\/\">travels on a container ship<\/a> but considering there are only 2 to 6 cabins available on each ship you might not get the route you want if you are not fast. Most agents recommend booking at least 6 months in advance to avoid bad surprises.\n\nIt is also very important to have an idea of where, when and how much you are willing to spend before you reach out to someone. A very rough estimate for the cost of a <a href=\"https:\/\/cargoholidays.com\/it\/is-traveling-by-cargo-ship-cheaper-than-flying\/\">cargo ship<\/a> journey is 100 &ndash; 120 euro per day.\n\n<\/p>\n<!-- Blog Image -->\n                                      \n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vJIZgIryJes\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay;
