About easyCruise

Launching on 6 May is easyCruise, the latest venture from Stelios the serial entrepreneur who also founded easyJet and the easyGroup. easyCruise is sailing along the french and italian rivieras and is designed for independently minded people in their 20's, 30's and 40's.  This is a very different profile from the typical cruise passenger but already 75% of people who have booked with easyCruise are aged between 18 and 40, with an average age of 35.

easyCruise has succeeded in attracting young passengers by using true innovation. The ship, easyCruiseOne, stays in port every night until 4am so passengers can really enjoy the nightlife in port.  the ship then sails to the next port, arriving by lunchtime and staying until 4am the next day.  This cycle is repeated on a daily basis.  Further innovation by easyCruise means that passengers join and leave the cruise where and when they wish, with a 2 night minimum, 14 night maximum stay so passengers themselves chose for how long they want to cruise.

Prices start at £25/ 37.5euros/ $45 per person per night for a standard twin cabin (based on 2 people sharing) so easyCruise represents a great value way to visit the playground of the rich and famous.  The purchase of food and drink (on board and on shore) is for each passenger to decide and buy. ports of call are: Nice, Cannes, St.Tropez, Monaco, Imperia (for San Remo), Genoa and Portofino.

easyCruiseOne is 88 metres long and can take 170 passengers and 54 crew. the ship has 86 cabins (twins, quads and suites), a sports bar with dj, a coffee bar, an outdoor cocktail bar with hot tub and a gym.
