Like Grimaldi for BAs but for the US or canada?
 
Hi ,

Looking if there is a RORO that you could travel in with your vehicle, a bit like Grimaldi allow people to do, to go to BAs?

Once upon a time, I am pretty sure there was a RORO doing UK to Boston where passengers could embark with their cars/bikes.

Any has done such trip by sea with their bikes to go to USA or Canada (from the UK)????

I'd be interested to find that out myself.

We put our bikes on RORO from Southampton to Baltimore in April 2011 - cost around £550 one way with Wallenius Wilhemsen but they did not allow passengers so we had to fly and meet the bikes Stateside.

Sounds interesting. Did you need to get your bikes on a container or just strapped as in a ferry?

Certainly does not seem like a common way to travel, like I understand it once was. Cheap air travel probably killed it.

No personal experience of crossing the oceans on a ship, or the quality of this website, but it might be worth checking out anyway:

1. I'm 99% certain there are no longer RORO or containerized freighters on the transatlantic route that take your vehicle/ bike and you as passenger on same vessel.

2. You can get the full Wallenius Wilhemsen scoop starting on their
website, and probably calling one of the UK (Southampton or Liverpool) offices direct, listed here:

good luck
