Can you pay to travel round the world on a merchant vessel, like Michael Palin in round the world in 80 days?

ie, a century ago you could work your passage as a stow-away, but is there a medium between a cruise and a stow away?

Yes. Look at this - http://www.freightercruises.com/?source=AdWords&gclid=CKTq6eegt5MCFQpLQwodNDpdDA

About $12,000 for a 15 week voyage.

That compares with $22,000 for a world cruise (also 15 weeks) on Cunard's Queen Victoria.

Yes, but expect to pay at least £7000 for a round the world trip.


tazzydevil
you couldn't travel 'around the world' as most vessels traval a certain route and stick to it, but yes you can travel on some cargo ships as a paying passenger, for example i had a friend who travelled from london to asia on a car carrier,


URBAN SOUL
contact the passenger ship association,look online.but,it's not cheap!


bigtdotcom
some merchant vessels do take paying passengers it is not as luxurious as a cruise liner but is much more fun and the service food etc is fantastic
try the websites of the shipping lines for more info


referee
I looked into this myself, and was surprised, it was expensive.
