Can passengers take a freighter to Europe these days?

Probably a question for Henning.

I'm listening on the radio to a woman who went to Europe on a freighter instead of a liner. Just wondering whether that can be done today?

How could someone arrange such a trip?

Never done it, but it can be done. I stumbled across this a few weeks ago:

Discussed a while back.
