Shipping from UK to North America (1 Viewer)

[Cazian Travel]

Hi folks, we are tentatively planning to ship the van to North America next year. Just wondering if anyone here has done that? it would be interesting to hear of peoples experiences?

I went for 3 months a couple of years ago, cycling not van. I survived on wi-fi for everything, all calls were made with WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.

Definitely doable just not quite as convenient.

We did raise some eyebrows when three of us (my Grandson was with us) would descend upon Starbucks or similar, each of us with at least three devices and start updating and uploading them on their wifi

ceejayt - Can you confirm the correct URL for SeaBridge? It seems there are a few businesses going by the same name. I presume it's the German one? https://seabridge-tours.de/html/verschiffung.php?language=english

This is the link you need...

Interesting that you can book a cabin on the same boat, don’t think they have swimming pools and a cinema on board though

Just received a quote from Seabridge today return journey from Liverpool to Halifax 8000 Euro +Marine Insurance. Still a lot cheaper than renting an RV for 6 months.

Interesting, can I ask vehicle length and did you enquire about 'on road' insurance during your time in the US...

My Flair is 8 Mts long, I didn't ask about insurance but they stated that they can organise same if you want. Some people are saying that if you have relatives in the states it is sometimes a lot cheaper to use there address

Very interesting thanks

They price by the cubic metre. You can get a price directly in the website for the shipping cost
