Is There a Way to Travel to Spain by Ship, Not a Cruise?

My dad HATES to fly, and at 92 he has every right to hate it. A simple 3 1/2 flight to Puerto RIco irritates him, and I'd like to take him to Spain, as I know he'll love it. Is there a way for us to travel to Spain by ship? I don't want a cruise, I just want to travel to a port in Spain get off and spend my time on land for a week or so, go back to the port, and go back to NYC. Does this still exist? Or did that go out with travel by stage coach?

Answer:

Have him travel by freighter. Most freighters have guest cabins and are surprisingly comfortable. Check the links below for detailed explanations, fleet-specific data, schedules and prices.
