Freighter Cruise Bookings

FreighterTravel NZ 248 Kennedy Road, Napier, New Zealand. Pictured Left ... Hamish Jamieson.

We have teamed up with Hamish Jamieson at FreighterTravel (NZ), based in Napier, New Zealand, who have a register of almost every passenger carrying cargo ship in the world - and provide a worldwide booking service for freighter ship cruises.

Hamish also offers a free guided tour of Napier to any freighter passengers who are passing through his home port - the tour is available to anyone, not just those passengers who have booked their freighter trip with Hamish - all he requests is that you give him at least 48 hours notice.

Please send Hamish your details using the booking form below - he will be happy to help you!

New To Freighter Travel?

If you are new to freighter travel, please read our FAQ before using this form. This will cover a lot of questions that freighter agents are asked all the time, such as ...

How much do voyages cost?  (About US$100-125 per day, plus approx $300 deviation insurance)
Can I work a passage for free?  (No, not under any circumstances!)
Can I take my pets onboard?  (Sadly, this is impossible.)
How much booking time is needed?  (You should book well in advance!)
Can I ship a car or motorbike?  (You will need a separate freight forwarding company for this.)

Please note that freighter cruises are NOT a cheap alternative to flying - a voyage by freighter will be a lot more expensive than an air ticket - they are just a different type of cruise vacation and priced at about the same level.
