Brazil - Europe by ship
I am going from Brazil back to Europe this MArch and will travel with the Grimaldi Lines . It is a RoRo ship (like a ferry that is ) and for a bike it is around US 250 and a car US 500. No additional costs at the port of arrival as it is your handluggage! Passenger fare is US 1400 for a single cabin but US950 p.p. for a double. SO I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO SHARE THE CABIN WITH !!!!
Sailings the 12th or the 28th of MArch from PAranagua

[Hi Daniel ,
and it took me long to respond too....
The RoRo ship back to Europe was great. No hasssle . Just like a ferry. European ports of arrival are Tilbury (UK) , HAmburg (Germany), Antwerp ( Belgium) , Le Havre (France).
The ships sail about every 11 days leaving from Buenos Aires, sometimes Montevideo and in Brazil from Rio Grande do Sul , Paranagua , Santos and Rio de JAneiro .(prices all the same ).
The only problems I had were in Brasil to obtain the port entry permit . I heard that in Argentina nothing was asked and you just drive straight in, and on board.
For info or bookings you can contact Hamish Jamieson of Freighter Travel Ltd.:
