Used book – THE GUIDE TO CARGO SHIP AND SMALL SHIP TRAVEL, Hugo Verlomme, Marc-antoine Bombail

A brand new edition of the famous guide to freighter and small ship travel.

Completely revised and updated text and new layout.

For twenty years, the trend of cargo ship travel has exploded. Its development is similar to that of the Internet. Freighter travel is emerging as an answer to mass tourism, a way of life that appeals to lovers of freedom and slow travel.

Every day, new ships open up to passenger transport, maritime websites appear on the Web, and new agencies welcome travelers determined to escape in the wake of Cendrars or Kerouac on the oceans that cover 71% of our planet.

And now, "small ships" are revolutionizing maritime tourism. In addition to different types of freighters, the public is turning to oceanographic expedition vessels, mixed cargo ships, small liners, supply ships, or mail boats.

The ship has become a true destination. Passengers no longer embark for Valparaiso or the North Pole, but aboard a buoy tender or an icebreaker.

In this unique guide, readers will find practical advice for preparing their trip, whether it's for coastal shipping, a long-haul crossing, or a round-the-world journey. Through practical advice, testimonials, and website addresses with amazing webcams, it also offers a maritime and nomadic philosophy for better breaking free from the moorings of routine.

For this 7th edition, the guide's layout will be completely redesigned. Black and white photos will accompany Hugo Verlomme's text, emphasizing the praise of slowness. It will be both a beautiful book and a practical guide.
