Boat to Europe?

[gavman]

So i kinda have this idea in mind for a two month+ trek from Vancouver BC to Ireland Via the west side of the united states and then across to the Florida area and then catching ideally a roll on roll off ferry or ship to northern Africa or southern Spain and driving up through to Ireland where i will leave my Truck for future use there. ( I have a house there and would ideally be spending allot of time there in the next few years).

So the question is, Is there a shipping service like this on the eastern side of the states? Ideally one where i could ride with the truck and sleep on deck in a rooftop tent.
Sounds like a long shot in some ways but i have to ask, Staying with the truck is an important part of the adventure(Rather than putting it in a Seacan and then waiting for it in Europe).

I would also consider going across Canada if the shipping was more further north!
Knowing this info would go along way in helping get this trip of the ground.
Anyone ever done anything like this?

They state that the vehicle would have to be shipped as regular freight, but some ships may make exceptions. There are other brokers for this type of trip, at least two in NY and one in LA. You might look into the companies that haul vehicles from europe to the east coast ( Baltimore, Delaware, Miami). I would assume that they export US made vehicles for the return trip and could possibly take you as well.

I will be curious to know what you find out. Good luck.
