easyCruise encourages traditional family holidays this summer

posted: 19.03.08

The contemporary image of a modern family holiday, where the parents enjoy an almost solo break whilst the kids enjoy clubs and entertainment is not to the liking of all UK families.  And seeing this family divide being created as the basis for a new style of 'family cruising' on many conventional cruise lines, has forced easyCruise to react.  From the start of the summer season, families will be welcomed on board easyCruise from as little as £168* (based on a family of four) to experience a holiday where parents and children can explore and have fun – together!

This summer easyCruise is offering a range of cruise itineraries which will let families discover the many islands surrounding Greece as well as Turkey and Albania.  It is the best way to see so many destinations in one holiday and is perfect for any active family who want something a bit different from their holiday. You are also not forced to pay for things you don't need or use.  Unlike traditional cruise lines which often tie you in with compulsory meals and entertainment as part as your holiday costs, easyCruise gives you the choice of spending your money onboard or on the islands, providing passengers with the chance to enjoy much more time at each destination and giving more flexibility when it comes to managing the holiday budget.

easyCruise Life, with its pool, spa, restaurant and bar provides the ideal base for the seven night Aegean Islands and Turkey cruise. From Athens it takes in six different Greek islands, Syros, Kalymnos, Kos, Samos, Mykonos and Paros and includes a day in Bodrum, Turkey, giving you plenty of time to explore on land or simply relax by the pool, sipping cocktails or coffee while the kids enjoy an ice cream.

Alternatively if you want to mix relaxation with history, easyCruiseOne, complete with hot tub, spa, restaurant and bar offers a ten night cruise from Athens through the Corinth Canal to the Ioanian sea, taking in the sites of Delphi, Mycenae, Nemea, Ancient Corinth and Butrint, in Albania. The itineraries offer a chance for the whole family to sample the delights of Greece, taking full advantage of the stunning scenery, the beaches, the history, the atmosphere and of course, the cuisine, all in a relaxed and fun way.

easyCruise is unlike any other cruise line.  Sailing for just a few hours in the early morning, you arrive at a new destination by lunchtime and don't leave again until the early hours of the following morning so you can enjoy much more time in each of the destinations. 
On both ships there is cabin accommodation for up to four people (2 adults plus 2 children).  easyCruise Life has 'quad' cabins with twin beds and two upper berths. Superior doubles, suites with balcony and panoramic suites have a double bed and a double sofa bed ideal for up to two children. 

*based on 2 adults and 2 children sharing a quad cabin with window on the 7 night Greek Islands & Turkey cruise departing on 26 April 2008 (accommodation only). Please note that some family activities will be provided on board but easyCruise does not provide supervised kids clubs or babysitting services. Activity packs for children will be provided. easyCruise Life has a pool, easyCruiseOne has a hot tub only.
