That must have been fun;)

I seem to remember that certain Merchant ships also had passenger cabins available to the public that were less expensive than trans-Atlantic passenger ships such as SS America and the QE1 - in the 50’s & 60’s they were cheaper than flying.

My mom and a couple of her girlfriends sailed from Yokohama to Bangkok and back on a Norwegian freighter.

My wife and I and another couple have taken trips across the Great Lakes on ore carriers (I was a fuel supplier to the fleets.)

If you look around, you can find off beat excursions like this.
