Does anyone know of any low cost ocean liners between Western Europe and the United States?

Question

My wife and I will be traveling back to the United States from Europe, and instead of taking an airplane home, we were thinking about sea travel. But it has been difficult to find any commercial sea carriers... so, does anybody know about traveling with this option?

Thanks!

My hunch is - there are none.

If ever there is one, it has to be an ocean liner, not one of those cruise ships for holidayers. If such a thing is there it needs to be advertised prominently. The only way out is to 'tramp' on a cargo or bulk carriers, sharing accomodation with the crew. In different corners of globe, some guys (mostly journos) did that.
