Try a freighter cruise

Posted by Anne Fitzgerald, Globe Travel Editor February 27, 2008 08:34 AM

A 32-day cruise of Central America and the Caribbean through the Panama Canal. A 14-day Croatia cruise, Rijeka to Hvar. A two-week trip through Central and Southern Dalmatia to Montenegro.

These and other voyages are available on freighter and other specialty cruises.

The Maruba Africa takes two passengers on a 42-day round-trip cruise from Buenos Aires. Up to 50 people can be accommodated on the Croatian trip.

Prices vary. See the website for details and to sign up for a monthly Maris magazine, which includes feature articles and passenger accounts.

What do you think? Is a freighter cruise for you?
