Are there many options out there for traveling by boat or ship?

Question

I didn't know if this was a common means of travel outside of being on a cruise-line.

Answer 1

There are ways of traveling on freighters and container ships, most of which take 10-15 passengers in pretty nice accommodations...try Trav-L-Tips [Google up for website address] for what's out there in the way of choices, prices and destinations.  There are Great Lakes tours on smaller vessels, inland waterway travel in Europe & England [rivers, canals, etc.] as well as various 'legs' down the intercoastal waterway along the east coast of the US from Maine all the way down to Galveston, TX.  ANYTHING but cruise ships is the way to go...unless you're an Old Party or an alky Yupster.
