Is it possible to travel between Japan and Canada by ship? -

I ve always been curious about this: is it possible to book passage from Japan to Canada by ship? If so, how would how long would it take to sail across the pacific, which port(s) would you arrive at, and how much would it cost?

Of course. People have been doing this for ages. You have two main options: freighter or cruise lines. Freighter travel is modern, comfortable, and relatively inexpensive. See the first source. You can find numerous possibilities. The second option is a cruise line, which is more expensive than freighter. See source 2. The costs differ from line to line and depends on length of trip and other things. You can often find last-minute cruises that are up to 70 percent off. There are thousands of possible price and itinerary possibilities.
