easyJet founder to offer cruises
Source: www.easycruise.com. Posted on 08 February 2005.
As of April or early May this year, with one-week itineraries along the French and Italian Riviera, easyCruise - a high-seas version of the British budget airline easyJet - will charge as little as EUR 100 per cabin, per day (single or double occupancy).
Ports of call include Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Monaco and Portofino, and passengers can board and depart anywhere along the route as long as they stay on the ship at least two nights.
In a sharp departure from traditional cruises that sail overnight and emphasize all-inclusive amenities, easyCruise's 170-passenger vessel will leave port in the early hours of the morning and arrive at the next town by lunchtime.
