Question: What Does Freighter Travel Cost?
Answer: Fares vary from shipping company to company, but you can count on between $65-$130 per person per day. Meals are included. Make sure you get a single cabin for the best deal. A sample fare from California to Hong Kong is $1,976 for a 19 day voyage. The cost of the trip is usually non-negotiable, but it never hurts to ask what discounts or deals may be available.
