This route sounds really interesting and no stress! Were you allowed to load your cars up with personal effects or did everything have to go in the container? How much did it cost please for just for yourselves and cars? Kind regards, Chris

Hi Chris,
We packed each car up to the roof, mainly things we could not live without whilst waiting for the container to arrive, remains of the larder, kettle, you know the stuff and of course enough clothes for a week or so. You do have to get marine insurance for the cars whilst you are on the high seas, this cost about £400 for two cars. The costs for the ship depends on which cabin you have ( there are about 6) we went 'POSH' and had the Owners cabin, which had a small sitting room and outside windows, but the inside cabins were quite spacious and looked comfortable. The website for Grimaldi will give you rough estimates about costs. I can't lay my hands on the actual bill for the ship but the website is very informative, and in English.
