Cma-Cgm-Cendrillon Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

This Sunday marks a significant milestone for maritime travel enthusiasts as Halifax prepares to launch its first-ever container ship cruise. Unlike typical cruises featuring water slides and recreational activities, this unique voyage is set to transport passengers alongside cargo containers. Travelers will embark on an extraordinary journey from Halifax to Vancouver, navigating through the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean Sea, and various parts of Asia. Organized by Cruise People Limited, a London-based firm specializing in container ship adventures, this cruise format has gained popularity elsewhere in the world. According to Kevin Griffin, the owner, container ship cruises offer a distinct way to travel over long distances. Vancouver has long been a favored port of call, and for those embarking on this voyage, patience is key, as the journey spans an impressive 71 days. The longest leg of the journey will see passengers enjoying 37 days at sea between ports. The inaugural cruise will set sail aboard the CMA CGM Cendrillon, one of six French-owned vessels now offering passenger services.
