Does anyone know if there are any companies/organizations that offer the possibility to sail the Atlantic by boat as a passenger (so not as a (more or less) experienced crew member). Are there any? Or announced plans or something like that?

(I’m not talking about being a passenger on a large cargo ship. I’m curious about the possibility to cross the Atlantic with a low carbon footprint).

Probably would, since cargo is their primary…cargo.

For the discussion we’re having here, planes generally don’t relocate for the sake of relocating. If they do, then you don’t want to spend any time loading passengers/bags at a terminal. You just want to take off, land, and skip the rest. Plus for a plane any weight is quite a cost.

If you are talking about a normal commercial flight, then you flying is normal demand.
