South America by ship

#1 (**permalink**) February 28th, 2003, 06:17 PM

Hi,

Does anyone have ANY idea how it would be possible to get to South America (Sao Paolo or Buenos Aires) from Europe by ship in the beginning of July...? I don�t mean luxury cruisers, rather private yachts or small ships. Just searching for a way not to have to fly. Thanks!!!

You might check into travel by freighter.

Let us know if you go and how you get there.

This was something I wanted to do a few years ago but have stayed with the major lines.

Good Luck

Dear Sir,Within the first four month of 2005,my wife and I would like to travel by boat to Valparaiso Chile,stay there for at least four weeks and return.
We live in southern Florida,the port of Tampa would be ideal,but any southern port would do.Return by air-craft or by boat through the straights and up the east coast is an option. Please let me know if this is possible and at what price.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
