Just reading an interview with a couple who sailed to Halifax via cargo ship. This quotation caught my eye:
"There was very little to do and we acquired the peaceful boredom of routine," Mary-Ann says.
"Our minds stilled. We absorbed more of what we read. Slow travel was actually quite wonderful."
Conventional cruises don't hold any appeal for me, but this does sound quite wonderful. (I'm eligible for a 3 month (paid) sabbatical in 2020....now I'm thinking a cargo cruise to Europe might be a great way to start off and get into rejuvenation mode!)
