Comments
A beautiful trip with interesting stops and pleasant berthing times.
It goes along the French Atlantic coast with a call at Bassens, the port of Bordeaux, as well as Montoir and partly Brest, both in Brittany.
Combine the call at Le Havre, the largest city in Normandy, with a visit to an extremely interesting region. Le Havre is the second largest port in France after Marseille and the city centre, which is characterized by its colourful concrete architecture, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005.
History buffs will also be interested in nearby Harfleur, which was a strategically important port in the constant battle against the English in the Middle Ages.
Ship of a German family shipping company. Age limit max. 75 years. There is a ban on alcohol for the crew.

- Many thanks again for my latest cargo ship experience which was wonderful.
I enjoyed the trip on the Gerda, with Captain H. who ensured that I had my best experience to date. Also, a mention to the Chef, who made very tasty meals, also to all the crew, I can’t list all their names, unfortunately, however, all staff combined made my experience so enjoyable and I will definitely try to go on that route again to meet them again.
I highly recommend this trip!
You are very...

Back from Hamburg, I would like to give you my feedback.
It was a very interesting week I spent on board; captain Z. and the officers were all very open and friendly, so there really was a good atmosphere. I have always felt welcome to go here and there, to ask questions, and able to spend a lot of time on the bridge. As I told the captain, I felt I was 40 years younger as I spent hours on the bridge, just like when I was an officer on merchant ships...
