Rickmers Pearl String "Round The World" Service
Pearl String – 126-Day Around the World from Houston (sometimes Camden, N.J.) or Hamburg.
This is our most popular world service and receives positive comments from clients. It sails about ten times a year and has unusual features.
- Partly tramp – This product has two itineraries – ports usually called and ports called if there is freight to be picked up or delivered.
- Partly General Cargo – Loading and unloading take longer than a container ship so there is more time to see ports of call.
- No single supplement so you can sail in your own cabin with private facilities at no additional cost.
Great value – Cost for the complete voyage is under Eu 85 a day including port taxes/fees and deviation insurance.

Route: Great Lakes Trans-Atlantic round voyages are offered, with embarkation in IJmuiden, Cleveland or Burns Harbor . The fare is variable as eastbound destination ports are not known until the outbound grain cargo is stemmed. Ships then normally return to IJmuiden to load back to the Great Lakes again. The eastbound trade is grain (wheat, corn, soybeans, peas, etc) and about half the ships load at Duluth, Minnesota, or Thunder Bay, Ontario, with the rest loading at Milwaukee, Toledo, Montreal, Sorel or Quebec. Destinations are not known until the last minute and can be any of Morocco, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Norway, Poland or Russia before returning to IJmuiden. (Note: Now that Egon Oldendorff has stopped carrying passengers, this is one of the last voyages left for those wanting a long voyage in a bulk carrier).
