These voyages last approximately 120 days. Bear in mind that these ships are primarily engaged in carrying cargo, so that your schedule, itinerary and length of stay in port will vary according to cargo requirements. In most ports called at, you will have ample time to go ashore. No excursions are planned, but your fellow-passengers and the ship's staff will be glad to help you find the most interesting places to see. The ship may skip one or more of the ports originally listed, or even add a port en route. ==== [page 2] FREIGHTERS to the MEDITERRANEAN Aboard the completely air-conditioned EXPORT AMBASSADOR, EXPORT ADVENTURER, EXPORT AGENT and EXPORT AIDE, twelve passengers enjoy the comfort and beauty of a modern ship.
