Rough It, But Don't
In past decades funky people often book a leisurely "cruise" on freighters or barges because they wanted to see how real people worked at sea, and they weren't in a hurry. That mode of vacationing seems to have slipped through the cracks in today's modern world where everyone is rushing everywhere, and they don't want to slow down for a vacation. If you want to spend a holiday while relaxing at sea, checking out what's available on freighters and barges in the way of passenger accommodation, may lead you to the best cruise you have ever taken. A lot of these types of working vessels do have a small part of their space dedicated to passenger travel. We aren't talking about thousands of people here. The food is said to be excellent and you can relax while looking out at the sea or visit port when the ship docks. Barges are a slower method of travel and they also have some accommodations for passengers. If you decide on this leisurely mode for your vacation, then take a look at what's available. This way of cruising could become your favorite, but you'll never know until you try it!
