Why don't you do a repositioning cruise instead? They're cheap and also legal. I've heard of things like you're talking about but I think since 9/11 it's basically no longer a thing for regular travelers unless you go to a third world country or a very specific place. Alternately, you can fly down to Cape Town and take the mail ship to St. Helena/Ascension or Tristan de Cunha, which should give you a similar experience. http://rms-st-helena.com/schedules-fares/ http://www.tristandc.com/shipping.php Alternately, you might look into going to Libya and getting on one of those rubber skiffs that goes from Tripoli to Malta. They're super expensive though, so maybe not what you're looking for. OTOH this sounds like one of those posts where the OP has no intention of ever actually following through with their hopes and dreams.

So... repositioning cruise? You responded to everything in the thread except for that, which is the cheapest, most realistic, and simple option. There will be a ton in late fall and mid spring as boats go to/from Europe and the Caribbean. It'll feel just like a cargo ship since they won't do any port calls, and the boat will be mostly devoid of tourists and activities. It'll just be you, 100+ of the Filipino crew (they're always Filipino fyi in case you were hoping for Captain Haddock) and a handful of old people who just like being on boats on the open seas.

Also OP, if you don't have a Norwegian passport, you're limited to only spending 3 months in the entire Schengen zone, and crossing into a non-Schengen country then going back doesn't reset your timer. Also Norway is expensive as poo poo even if you're staying in hostels and eating out of grocery stores. In the event you actually make it over there, please don't do urban camping. Edit: Also, what happened to the E/N subforum? Saladman fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Feb 18, 2017 |
