What is the cheapest way to travel across the Atlantic by ship? Cruse or Freighter?

Question

I want to spend at least a week at sea and "get away" from my life in the US before arriving in Europe. From there back pack and bike across Europe and England. Then sail or fly back.

Answer 1

that sounds cool but i don't know how you would do it. i do know that some freighters will hire people to go with them for a free ride...

Answer 2

Answer 3

Book transatlantic cruises from a cruise line - holland america line is my all time favorite. 800-426-0327

Answer 4

The freighter is probably cheaper and will probably take longer too.  Try this web site as a start:  http://www.juddspittler.com/freighterbum...

Then click on the frequently asked questions link and I think it will cover a lot of your questions.

As I looked at the questions it appears that a freighter is about $50 a day cheaper than a typical cruise.

ALSO, do a google search for "freighter passengers" and you will find a bunch of info about freighter cruising

Answer 5

freighter.
