In the last years there have been quite a few stories about these sort of trips.
While they were interesting to read at first, I have the feeling these trips come down to pretty much nothing, that is, hours and hours stuck in a room without much to do/see. Even if you're lucky with a crew/fellow passengers that provides you with some conversations/activities, they're usually nothing out of the ordinary or worth even telling. This doesn't mean they can be meaninful to oneself, but well... A good travel journal is like cooking a dish where you have the main ingredient (what happened/what u did) and the spices (the context, research and extra infos). Here you only have the second part as you spend a month doing little, seeing less, and sorry but everyone has that in their kitchen.
That said, large ships and cargo managememt are very interesting from the physics and technical sides, but these are hardly ever covered...
