It costs over a thousand USD to take some ocean liners.
What are alternative ways that are cheaper, and how would one go about it?
(No planes)
For context, I know someone who went from China to California by freight ship in the 1990s by bribing the captain with beer and their cooking skills.
Well this is just off the top of my head, but… bribe the captain with beer and cooking.
You could find someone planning a sailboat crossing and volunteer to be a crew member using one of the crew finder sites. Although it might be difficult with no experience unless you’re a hottie
But if you’re a hottie, you should think about the implication
The global hitchiker’s currency is gas, grass, or ass.
Cruise ships sometimes have repositioning cruises where they go one way across an ocean to start operating in another region, and they can offer significant discounts. I’m sure there’s cheaper ways but it’s an option.
Many freighters rent cabins for passage. No idea how expensive this is, tho.
Also bare in mind that this is a cargo ship, not a modern cruise ship with stabilizers. A modern cruise ship has a maximum roll of 0.5 degrees. A cargo ship can roll up to 12 degrees.
