"Since 1971, when my three young children and I travelled up the West Coast of Africa, I have had the pleasure of occasional freighter voyage. A wonderful way to see, and enjoy the peace of the watery parts of, our world. Thank you so much and your family for choosing to run your freighter cruise agency."

"Due to Covid I cannot take the cruise I booked on the Aranui, yet they ask for canc. fee and a higher rate for next year. Price gouging at it's worst". - With our effort, the same balance had to be paid for a higher grade suite next year - "Thanks Ranko, you're a legend! Stay safe, Diana"
