I have been looking around the web and travel sites for travelling by freighter. The thing is, all the sites I find seem to be booking the same trips. They are all on a certain level of luxury (gym, pool, en suite bath, nice meals with wine) and about the same price per day ($120-135). I keep thinking that surely there are other variations of more and less luxury, of more routes, but I can't seem to figure out how to find them.

Any advice?

I'd really like to find something from Pakistan to South Africa, via wherever and maybe for a couple of weeks. India would be OK too since it seems that some of the sites say you cannot get on or off in Pakistan, I am guessing maybe for customs reasons. Otherwise we would like to go from the Indian sub-continent to Europe. There are some routes that do that.

Thanks

Many freighters don't want passengers. These people often complicate everything on board. Nevertheless yiou may have a look at http://www.cruiseshipportal.com > Freighter cruises

I can't get to the site, but then our undersea cable has been whacked and the internet is not working right all over South Asia. Will try again later. Thanks for the info.
