the room rates you were estimating, was that per day? (70-100 Euro)
I have a co in Canada🇨🇦 would be glad to connect over 📧
Thanks. Just found your channel. I had planned to book passage on a cargo ship before the pandemic for the experience, to film it for my new travel vlog, and as a way to transport my belongings from Greece back to the US. The freighter company I was looking is French. Any word on when cargo ship travel will reopen?
I did this in 2001 from Liverpool to Philadelphia (8 days). Freakin’ fabulous. Have flown across the Atlantic many times, took the QE2 once, a couple of fancy cruises, and while all I recall of the flights was the noise of the engines and constantly thinking “When is this going to be over? Wow, this is long!” I remember many, many awesome things about the container crossing (three jaegers trailing the ship for miles, a whale in the distance; a cool little nighttime storm (German Captain somewhat dismissively called it a “low pressure system” in a friendly way next day at dinner) that put yards of blue green water over the bow and massive white explosions of foam/spray over stories of containers visible in the super powerful spotlights he had on and made it hard (for me anyway!) to walk to my bathroom (the comfy room was huge); great conversations with the officers and crew, days of contented contemplation of the sea sitting in the sun, supercool stuff to see happening in the ports; blessed disconnection; time and space to think. A wonderful experience, BUT you need to be a self-starter, able to amuse yourself with reading, writing, sitting and thinking, just being peaceful. As this video stresses, it’s not a cruise, and the slow passage can be a blessing or a curse, depends on you. Great video and great way to travel. Basically comes down to: “Do you want to rush through your life or live it?” Hope I can do it again someday, this made me nostalgic!
Sit as forward of the Engines as possible for the quietest ride.
What is total cost??
@@pinchofsalt974 Estimate $100 dollars per day.
Do you know if they let you bring a pet or two?
he doesn't need to take a plane if he keeps flapping like that
Was just thinking that 😂
Italy: ... some crazy guy on the back of a ship with hands and hair blowing in the wind, screaming about leaving comments in the suggestions down below.
Howdy there, Thomas!
Fancy seeing you here.
This made me lol.
Lnaooo😂😂😂
Be nice to the crew. They can throw you off board and nobody will know a thing.
Oscar Scheepstra ....Always avoid discussing politics and religion on a ship
And when they ID you on a boat just invoke your fifth amendment privilege
Don't argue with the cook. He will spit on your food. Always like all the sh1t he makes
@@wertiaaudit5746 Actually, any 'Murican amendment will fall on deaf ears once you step on an ocean liner; the moment you step on the gangway the rules of the ship's class flag will apply and there's no helping you once you're in international waters or until you step on the yellow line in the Customs bldg.

Nice video. I have just booked a cruise from Singapore to Genoa, Italy. It will take 110 days about 15 ports to visit. Singapore, Vietnam, Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Japan, Panama Canal, USA, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy.
No internet or phone access. Great.
My last trip was from Sydney to Singapore only 16 days.
Sheila F. So you will get like rapwd and stuff? 110 days alone with a bounch of swollen balls sailors ... hmm
I am currently in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam typing this in a coffee shop near the port. As there is no internet connection on board the ship I will use every opportunity to read my E-Mails and stay in contact with family and friends. Later on I will go sightseeing. We are leaving tomorrow for Hong Kong. There are only four cabins, 2 single and 2 twin. We are two single women and a couple. We haven't met before but we are all ex-Army. We are all trained in Martial Arts and have decided to practise every day.
We don't see much of the crew but share the dinning room with the officers from Germany and Italy. The food is really good, three meals a day and snacks in between.
All cabins are air conditioned and have private facilities - cabins have coffee making facilities, TV, VCR player and DVD with a small library of books, a lounge and a laundry. There is also a small outdoor pool.
I won't be bored as I am writing my dissertation on Banking and Finance.
The Taxi for the sightseeing tour has just arrived. I am looking forward to exploring the city. Maybe something more when I am in Hong Kong.
Wow 110 days along time do they bill you per day
I am currently in Hong Kong and found Internet access in a coffee shop. They charge me AUD 90 a day. Everything is included. Three meals a day including snacks, wine, beer and soft drinks. Once a week they clean my room. I could do it myself but they insist. I can use the laundry facilities I do my own washing. Everything is perfect so far just no internet or phone access. I don't mind. We will spend about two to three days in different ports. Soon off to Shanghai, China.
Sheila F. Wow that seems fun. I can do a cargo ship.
This video was super helpful. I just started the booking process for a transatlantic crossing the day before this video. This video the first of many I'll watch today, just confirmed how much I want to take this voyage. Subbed and Belled
Really interesting Tal. I keep seeing your cargo ship videos from this series popping up but this is my first chance to catch one. It's something I've always been really interested in doing since a family member did it from Auckland to LA a number of years ago. Thanks for all the tips! - Thomas
+Chasing a Plate - Food and Travel Channel thanks guys! Glad you enjoyed keep rocking around the world!
15 minutes without breathing.. good job dude :D
Look at that yacht.... Doesn't show the yacht.
Man... You seem to have the Kung Fu Fighting moves in this video. Great series.
+Chrus B haha thanks I've been studying the art of Tal Fu and Clatt Chi for years now
Doing the Macarena the whole time lol
Awesome personality; ignore all those haters.
blessings from Hamilton Canada
He just travelled on the ship smuggling the cocaine. Hes so annoying
Travelling on a cargo ship is on my bucket list. Spending a month or two at sea, away from my problems, away from my family, and away from the shithole town I reside in sounds like heaven to me ☺️😊
holy shit...thank you for exposing this to me. i love to travel but the cost of it is a major drawback for me. this is definitely something im going to be thoroughly checking out. this is right up my alley.
My compliments on the sound quality and clarity of speaking.
Good info too.
I think you're the first one I've even seen give a tutorial on this I just happened to find this video in an online article just randomly browsing the internet and is a great guide. I'll definitely share this.
i got here from a timelapse of a cargo ship crossing the atlantic and now im watching your playlist for cargo ship traveling. definitely gonna try this when i have the opportunity
You should!
JUJULIAN morning I will
I was on one of these cargo ships a few years back travelling from Hong Kong to San Francisco. I thought it was an "experience". Man! What a mistake! First, the cost was higher than passenger cruises. Second, they dock only at freight ports. You would be lucky to find local bus or train or even taxi cabs! Third, the food? Well, cooking was just like home. No fancy stuff. Often, the eggs were burned and you couldn't complain. In their eyes, you were transparent. Passenger cruises are like floating five star hotel. Cargo ship travel? Just a floating home from A to B. Costly experience. Not again!
I want to book a trip that goes past Somalia
Lookin to earn some teardrops?
Rufus Preston lol 😂
hahhahaha
Aha you tryna watch pirates get mowed down?
Arnoud van Joolingen Holy shit. That website is real 😂
this is exactly what I was searching for
Definitely a bucket list addition
This is a good way to finish my graphic novel I'm working on since there's no internet all the time. less distraction XD
Did you end up finishing it mate? I'm writing a book myself but it requires alot of research, so this environment wouldn't work for mine unless I had heaps of books with me :D
I am almost in tears to see how awesome this dudes audio is with that wind. What mic are you using bro?
Why tears? Lol weirdo
Jesus relax you freak 😂
@@alex8fish figure of speech. Also because nobody ever bothers fixing wind noise.
Wind muff
C'mon guys, all you lot whining about the Clatts arm movements, think about it, if he falls over board he could swim back from just about anywhere :)
In all honesty though love the vids 😁
Thanks joe!!
I always wanted to know about traveling on a Cargo Ship and you just got a New Subscriber!
+Eric Perich thanks bud!
Lots of great info, great video! I really want to try cargo travel
love these videos thank you for making them
Dude, very nice video, you always improve your "RUclips Game" seriously good job, you are passionated, never give up !!
Docteur Correcteur. Thanks bro! Not planning on it!
I’ve never heard of cargo ship traveling and I have to say I am very interested. This seems pretty cool.
Great video for information and impressions of going by cargo ship. Also full marks for the mass of links and info. Thanks for posting.
Excellent informative clips buddy. Inspired me to book one !
Awesome information! Keep it up!
+Peter Berger thanks man!!
That is cool about the tracking of the ships bit.
+Jack Kimmel thanks bruv
never occured to me to travel on a cargo ship awesome
Well.. That Cargo Ship Company Sales pitch, failed miserably 😂 No kidding, very informative prospective, covering all angles! Cheers
+Kevin Duval thanks that's what I tried to do here!
Darn awesome explanations! Great channel. You must tire a lot, after talking, LOL :)
This is such a great series. Thank you for the time and effort this must have taken to share with us. Ever thought about taking a boat ride to Antarctica?
+Ben T thank you really glad your enjoying and yes I am planning Antarctica!
I'd totally do this. I love ships.
I’ve used Vessel Finder to learn about ships sailing by my town along the Columbia River.
I sugest choice general cargo or bulk carrier vessel, them will take longer time than Container or PCTC vessel on port for cargo operation, so you can have longer time periods to exploring city near by port, if you lucky you can get exotic destinations city/country too...
Hmmm, looks like this could be for me. Great video, an eye-opener for me and this could be in my bucket list before I go.
Great video man. Keep the cargo ship videos coming I love them!!! Cargo Ship!! Cargo Ship!! Cargo Ship!! 🚢🌅
+Roberto Perdomo YES YES YES!
When you are outside, are the engines still very loud? I might get annoyed by constant humming from the ship's engines, especially at high speed.
I love the lofi in the background
Great stuff!! I enjoyed each video!!
+CineSkies thanks mayne
Good tips Brother..... thanks!!!
Cheers 🍻
Persian Captain Sparrow... bro ur killing me with the spastic arm... haha! Great info tho.. thx!
I have done this and you guys have got to understand there is not necessarily going to get Internet you better bring books you better be able to entertain yourself and the food is decent but it’s not what you’re probably expecting
Nice!! I never knew!
Interesting and good tips.
Good tips! Happy sailing!
Great guide but I won't talk to people on the phone. Only by letters. Can I book a cargo ship by one of those? Got you there clatt.
BrandBarries haha hey jus call me San Jose am I right
Can you drink alcohol on board a cargo ship ?
Very cool. Thanks.
For me this would be an ideal adventure. I am a retired 200 ton master merchant mariner. But have always worked in the oil fields in much smaller craft. I would be interested in the ship's operations.
But, I know from experience, discharging and loading cargo takes place usually in areas far removed from town centers and attractions. Plus the loading/unloading schedule and the type of cargo dictates how long you will be in port. Befriend a member(s) of the crew that is familiar with the port. You can accompany them when they are off watch.
Hello!
Judging by your comment, you are a man with experience in the maritime business! I would be very grateful if you have some answers to my questions.
- Is there any way to get from Europe to Canada by sea, maybe on a cargo ship?
- Do they check for a Canadian visa on board ?
- Which ports in Europe are the most likely to get on the ship ?
@@firstlast1047 Thank you .
Great guide and info here.
Amazing!
I was looking out into the Med Sea off the coast of Haifa the other day with my binoculars and I saw a cargo ship that said Grimaldi Lines on it!!!
+Shula Oudean nooooo way! Did you think of your boy clatt?
Of course! I wonder if it was the one you traveled on or if there are other ones that also have that name. Is it a franchise or is it just one?
Yeah the storms would scare me the most but I know they sail daily and you're mostly in good hands.
Great overview.
Honestly I first thought you as a professional boxer ... your moves were like knockout..😂😂
This makes me want to do this
I didn't know this was a thing.
Do you know if there’s an American Cargo Company I can book through?
What are customs/security like? Obviously depends on the country, but in general what has been your experience? I'm in the U.S.
Wow, this looks really fun. I have to try it some day.
Awesome video buddy
Thanks friend!
FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loving your personality 👍💕😂👊🙏💥
Are there opportunities when the ship docks to spend time and that particular country... And how do you get back?
The energy is unmatchable
you said full access to the ship, if you keep out of the way can you chill on the bridge?
If there are 24 staff on board, does that make you 25th Assistant Captain? Very informative. Thanks TravelingClatt!
Your videos make me want to travel more
+Carolyn Guest we'll do it baby girl! Any of you clatts are welcome to join me anywhere in the world!
TheTravelingClatt I would join but I’m broke as fuck 😭
Carolyn Guest you are girl, u can travel when broke ;)
Captains and crew do NOT carry weapons on board and most ship's do not have armed guards either. It is true however, that piracy is not a very big issue anymore, and there are other effective methods of discouraging pirates. Just stay away from slow vessels with a low freeboard (distance from the water to the deck), if you're concerned.
It is like being in the Navy. It actually looks kind of nice. One has to realize it is a working ship vice a pleasure trip. They will be working, while you get to hang out. Bring a book, if there is a gym, spend time at the gym.
Haha i think everybody realizes it's a working ship, sheesh
Very nice, thanks
Hey, man…I'm planning a trans-Atlantic cargo this April and I really appreciate your info. Question: I'd really prefer not to share a room but I'd like to avoid the added expense of booking a single if possible. Would you recommend booking as a double and taking my chances and possibly ending up with a roommate , or going ahead and booking the single? Or is the answer "It depends?" Thanks, man…
It depends
I'll try this 😍😍
Let me know how it goes!
TheTravelingClatt is this ship is safe and we can go anywhere from this ship???
I was wondering if it is possible to get a job on a cargo ship doing some menial task while the voyage is underway?
Congratulations!
Thank you for showing this video! Very well presented! It was very inspiring!
You used very good music!
Thanks for sharing! Huge likes (7)👍👍👍!
Thank you for uploading! Have a nice day!
Thank you so much
is there a cargo ship that travel from new york to manila that take pasenger and how much will it cost a[pproximately and how long is the travel time?
You're a gem eh!
Your vlogs are fucking edited on point my brother, safe travels!
My advisor in college did this with his wife. Most people he said are retired with lots of time and disposable income
Hi 👋 I have a few questions for you .
Is it possible to travel from Europe to Canada and from where exactly.
Is there any chance of being allowed without a Canadian visa on such a ship ?
How do I get on a boat without going to a company that sells trips on it?
I feel like I have to keep ducking to avoid all the hand gestures coming at me.
Never thought about travel like this. Do you know of any on the east coast of Canada
I want to avoid flying so ive been thinking of taking a freighter San Francisco to china...Should be about 21 days? 2500$?
Are you allowed to take satelite phone or internet connection on board? Thanks for the video, im hoping to do this within 6 months. South Africa to EU.
Can you sit in the Bridge and look forward?
who should one contact for a trans Pacific journey from California to Japan?
apbrit2009
Captain Nemo
Jack Sparrow
do they provide alcohol and tobacco, or can you bring your own?
שני!
בהצלחה בהמשך המסע!!
+אבי לויתודה. גבררר
מאיפה אתה בארץ?
I didnt know you could actually book passage on a cargo ship... Is it expensive?
I figured you'd just be a part-time crew member with a small bribe instead of actual traveling, but granted most ships don't require much labor anymore. Maybe someone to make sure crates don't get toppled in storms and ensure everything is tethered, but no one needs to hoist masts or tether poles.
They' really fruwn on passengers trying to "help".
Tal, ever been in holland? Let me know if you want to visit kinderdijk (mills)
+David Cronie yes only in Amsterdam! But I loved it!
How do they fuel the ship and how often.
So what was the price of your ticket from Israel to Miami?
Cool
+Tacco Nachos thank bruv
