I've not used them before, that being said, I know people who have used freight ships for taking trips abroad. It's not something that is advertised or well known about. I know that the people I know had to make calls and talk with the companies that own the ships. As per picking up after a pets mess, wiping up a mess from a painted steel deck and tossing it the heads toilet shouldn't be a problem, a freight ship is not a cruise ship. Most of these ships have fairly decent quarters on board and typically room to spare from my understanding. All you have to do is locate a company that is willing to allow you and your pet passage aboard their vessel. The costs may be a bit greater than normal airfare and I’m not certain how they arranged meals, etc. Anyhow, it’s just an option I was made aware of and thought to pass it along for people who won’t allow a pet to travel in a luggage compartment.
