RICKMERS-LINIE Pearl String Service

A touch of traditional navigation

We offer segments ex Northern Europe (Antwerp, Hamburg); Asia (Shanghai) and North America (Philadelphia).

You are invited to completely relax and at the same time experience genuine maritime lifestyle on multipurpose cargo ships. The superstructure of these crafts is fully air-conditioned (please note: the temperature in the cabins is not controllable!); all passenger accommodations are comfortable and have private facilities. Rickmers-Linie’s multipurpose vessels will still carry general cargo (breakbulk and project cargo) in addition to containers so that port times

should provide plenty occasions for rather interesting shore excursions.

PASSENGER ACCOMMODATIONS

All passenger cabins are carpeted and have private facilities with shower and WC each. They are light and airy with wood furniture and plentiful closet space.

Please refer to attached drawings for more detailed information. There is no access to the internet!

DOUBLE CABIN “OWNER’S” - NO. 602 on the D-Deck This cabin is a two-room suite and measures in general approx. 30 square meters (incl. bathroom).

The bedroom has one forward facing window with usually clear* view as well and includes twin beds side by side (measuring about 90 x 200 cm each) with a nightstand between the beds, an easy chair, a dresser, a stool, a mirror and two wardrobes.

*) However, there is the possibility that the outlook may be partially obstructed at times.

Please note that the description above illustrates the furniture arrangement on most of the vessels at this time but on some vessels, for example, the beds are presently installed end to end and against the wall in the bedroom and the wardrobes are placed in the sitting room.

FORMALITIES Your passport should be valid at least 10 months counting from voyage commencement. This is because some countries require passports to be valid at least six months at the time of entry. Tourist visas for the USA (concerning all non US- and Canadian citizens) and China (multiple entries, at least 2) are mandatory and must be available at boarding time according to the booked voyage segment! Passengers are further responsible for checking with respective consulates or embassies of all other countries called and for obtaining required documentation prior to boarding (please mention that you are going on a freighter trip !). Visa requirements may vary depending on the nationality of passengers. You will receive further information about visa formalities when booking a voyage. Vaccinations against Yellow Fever are compulsory for some segments! Please contact your medical advisor for more information about any further and perhaps necessary or recommended vaccinations. The ship does not have a doctor onboard. Therefore all passengers, regardless of age, must present a clean medical certificate from their physician prior to boarding, which confirms that they are in good health and able to travel on a freighter without regular medical care. The age limit is 75. Passengers must be able to negotiate stairs well because accommodations and public facilities are spread over several decks and there is no elevator.

SAILING SCHEDULE

As a rule, there is min. one departure a month. Please refer to the schedule overview for estimated sailing dates as either provided in the Internet at www.rickmers-linie.com or upon request from MCC. All dates are approximate and subject to change. Passengers kindly take into account that ports may be added to or dropped from the itinerary on short notice and that cargo operations in ports where general cargo will be loaded/discharged may take longer than originally planned. For this reason, projected sailing/arrival dates given at booking time may vary from the final itinerary. The advantage on the other hand is that passengers may look forward to interesting port stays and extensive shore excursions on this trip due to these special cargo requirements.
