And as an option in case it wets the appetitie: http://www.freighterworld.com/

One of the lists of commercial ships that offer passenger cruies too, worldwide. Most cargo ships have facilities like 'captains cabin' as they are called for either owners or paying passengers and a few offer swimmming pools, high quality cuisine and the chance to get to some of the more out of the way destinations too.
