Call of the Sea
HOPPING a freighter to circumnavigate the globe may sound romantic, but consider that typical cruise amenities are few (no casino or evening shows), digs are no-frills, and Internet service is limited. Still on board? Have two months to kill? This is the adventure for you. Leave New Yorkaboard the freighters Figaro, La Scala, or Tosca, and cruise eastbound via the Suez Canal, finally arriving in Vancouver.
