The Difference Between Freighter Cruises and Regular Cruises
Freighter cruises have been on our minds recently. First, we wrote an overview of freighter cruises, covering the essential information about these unique vacations, and then we explained how to book a freighter cruise, which was necessary because of the vast differences between booking a regular cruise and a freighter cruise. (By “regular cruise,” we simply mean a cruise vacation offered through a cruise line.) Reflecting on this last remark gave rise to the present article: booking a regular cruise is so much different from booking a freighter cruise because these two types of cruises are so different; however, they are both called “cruises,” which might suggest to some that they are more similar than they actually are. As stated, they are not similar at all, so we thought it would be beneficial to spell out the main differences between freighter cruises and regular cruises. And, to bring our reasoning full circle, hence the present article. Read more […] -
How to Book a Freighter Cruise
Freighter cruises are a unique and under-appreciated type of cruise vacation, as we explained in a recent article (see link above).

(Indeed, many are not even aware of the existence of freighter cruises.) Given their relative obscurity and the fact that we recently shed light on them, we thought we should explain how to go about booking a freighter cruise. Our basic question is therefore this: how do you book a freighter cruise, and is it much different from booking a regular cruise vacation? Read more […]
