Passengers can travel around Northern Europe and the Mediterranean Sea on Grimaldi Lines Freighter Travel on a 35 day roundtrip. They are car carriers and the ship profile is different from the container freighters. The passenger cabins, elegant lounge and dining room, and a small gymnasium are all located on deck 10. These ships have elevators.

The Gran Bretagna, Grande Mediterraneo and Grande Europa are sisterships in the Grande "A" class. These ships were built in 1998 and 1999 and their gross tonnage is 51,799 GRT. Each ship has one outside Owner's Cabin with one double bed and a separate sitting room; there is one large window in each room, and plenty of drawers and hanging space. The sitting room has a sofa, armchair, table, and desk with a chair, and the bathroom has a bathtub. There is also a single outside cabin with a single bed, a sitting area with a sofa, and a bathroom with a shower. Also available are 3 inside double cabins with lower and upper berths, and bathrooms with showers.

The Grande Scandinavia and Grande Ellade are sisterships in the Grande "C" class, and were built in 2001, at 51,799 GRT. Each ship has one outside Owner's Cabin with one double bed and a separate sitting room. The sitting room has a sofa, armchair, table, and desk with a chair, and the bathroom has a bathtub. There is also a double outside cabin with a foldout sofa bed, a sitting area with a sofa, and a bathroom with a shower. Also available are 3 inside double cabins with two lower twin beds, and bathrooms with showers.

  • Please keep in mind that these are freighters and flexibility is an important consideration when booking.
  • The months of November through April can be rough in the North Sea and cause these flat-bottomed ships to roll.
  • Italian food is offered onboard. There is NO American-style breakfast.
  • As this is mainly coastal cruising, officers and crew are often very busy.

Grimaldi Lines Freighter Travel, based in Italy, offers an approximate 28 day round voyage in the Mediterranean Sea year around. Seven ships, the Grande Spagna, Grande Anversa, Grande Sicilia, Grande Portagallo, Grand Benelux, Grande Detroit, and Grande Colonia each have two cabins available for passengers. Built in 2002-2006, these ships are about 37,200 GT, about 579 feet in length (176.6 meters), and are PCTCs (Pure Car and Truck Carriers) and able to carry 4,300 cars.

Both of these outside cabins have three lower beds and a fold down bed. They also have 2 wardrobes, a writing table and chair, and private facilities. They are located on deck 11 along with the dining room, lounge, and small gym. All passenger areas are air conditioned and reached by elevator. The Line has advised us the furniture in the cabins and the public areas are simpler than that of the ships that serve the Northern Europe/Mediterranean routing. There is a self service laundry available. The ships have Italian officers and Indian engineers. Therefore one could expect a variety of Italian and Indian food to be served onboard.

The attraction of this service is the variety and number of ports called in just 4 weeks' time. The voyage includes 8 countries: Spain, England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Turkey. Unusual ports include Flushing, the Netherlands and Gemlik and Yeniköy, Turkey. Gemlik is a small town on the southern shore of the Marmara Sea where Renaults and Fiats are loaded. Yeniköy is more or less the private pier of the Ford Motor Company. We recommend passengers board in Valencia, Spain, as flights are readily available via Madrid. Valencia is an attractive town with a nicely restored old town, an interesting aquarium, and a good selection of hotels. Passengers may also board in Southampton, England, although Southampton is occasionally omitted. Ports of call are dependent on the import and export of cars.

  • Please keep in mind that these are freighters and flexibility is an important consideration when booking.
  • The months of November through April can be rough in the North Sea and cause these flat-bottomed ships to roll.
  • Italian food is offered onboard. There is NO American-style breakfast.
  • As this is mainly coastal cruising, officers and crew are often very busy.

NSB offers the Hanjin Amsterdam, Hanjin Athens, Hanjin Brussels and Hanjin Ottawa on an 84 day itinerary from Long Beach or Oakland, California to Italy and Spain via the Far East. Five passengers can be accommodated in one Owner's Suite, one double suite, and one single cabin.

The Owner's Suite and double suite, on F deck, are forward-facing with a view that may be blocked by containers, and are approximately 323 square feet (30 square meters) including the bathroom. The price is the same for either cabin. The Owner's Suite is starboard middle and the double suite is port side middle. Each suite has two rooms, with a separate sitting room and sleeping room, and has a wardrobe and one bed measuring approximately 80" x 70" (2.05 x 1.80 m). Passengers will enjoy a video/DVD player, refrigerator, and mini stereo in each cabin. There are two sofas in the sitting room, a desk, and three chairs. The cabins are carpeted.

There is one single cabin on the port side of E deck, which is a forward-facing one room cabin that is approximately 193 square feet (18 square meters), with a bed that is about 80" x 49" (2.05 x 1.25 m). The view may be blocked by containers. This carpeted cabin has a video/DVD player, refrigerator, mini stereo, wardrobe, sofa, armchair, and a table and chair.

An indoor swimming pool, sauna, and a fitness room with table tennis and a stationary bicycle or rowing machine are also available for passenger enjoyment. There is a self-service laundry.
