Cargo cruises, or passenger rides on freighters, now suspended permanently/indefinitely?

Saw this on freightercruises.com: "The CMA CGM have decided to permanently cease passenger services on their cargo ships. Without the French Line, the only large pre-Covid provider, our activity will remain based on Specialty Cruises only, such as the ARANUI and Bella Desgagnés."

And from cargoshipvoyages.com: "WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS, DEEP SEA INTERNATIONAL VOYAGES ARE NOT POSSIBLE AS MAJOR SHIPOWNERS AND/OR THEIR CHARTERERS HAVE INDEFINITELY WITHDRAWN FROM THIS ACTIVITY."

Crossing either the Atlantic or Pacific on a cargo ship has been a dream of mine for more than a decade...I'm so sad to hear that it's no longer possible. Does anyone know if any of the other major shipping lines or freighter cruise booking agents are still able to get passengers onboard?
