Question: Why Travel by Freighter?
Answer: Traveling on a freighter is easy, fun, informal, relaxing and a great adventure as you'll have an opportunity to meet international travelers and crews. It's a very leisurely way to travel (a trip from Long Beach, California to Tokyo typically takes about 13 days) - you'll spend that time in a different world. Time seems suspended while traveling by sea!
"It is good to have an end to journey towards, but it is the journey that matters in the end."
