It costs over a thousand USD to take some ocean liners.
What are alternative ways that are cheaper, and how would one go about it?

For context, I know someone who went from China to California by freight ship in the 1990s by bribing the captain with beer and their cooking skills.
Cruise ships sometimes have repositioning cruises where they go one way across an ocean to start operating in another region, and they can offer significant discounts. I’m sure there’s cheaper ways but it’s an option.
