Passengers have a varied background. A large proportion are mature travellers with around half of them being single gentleman but this type of travel is also popular with younger people seeking an alternative way to travel. The most common factor our passengers share is their love for the sea.
What sort of facilities do the ships have?

Cabins on cargo ships are comfortable spacious suites for 1-2 people. Passengers share the officers facilities (lounge and dining areas). Some ships may also have bar, swimming pool, gym and lift.
