As the following comments illustrate, freighter enthusiasts love those voyages and visits to the world ports:
“My favorite ports were in northern Italy. Maybe not so much for the ports themselves, but for the tiny villages in rocky inlets along the coast of the Ligurian Sea. We took the train to see 4 of the 5 villages of Cinque Terre. It’s a must if time permits. To me these picturesque villages were a visual treat rivaling the more famous Amalfi Coast and the friendly inhabitants help you enjoy it even more.” - James Bard, Fall 2003.
“Darkness approaches on a clear night announcing a beautiful sunset with shades of green rays, color of happiness, color of flames, encircled in an infinite coat of gold. Days fall so quickly in Tropics. The first star is already appearing on the background of red, indigo, marine, royal, night. Venus of course, which shines without flickering, then a myriad of stars enlarged by the clear air that no terrestrial light, no smoke could veil.” - Michel Goeldlin, Summer 2001, from his book “Paths of Foam” written during the voyage. |
