easyCruise now has Caribbean Cruises

easyCruise, a recent venture of Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the serial entrepreneur and founder of the easyGroup of companies (including easyJet, considered Europe`s leading low-cost airline and listed on the London Stock Exchange) has announced its entry into the winter 2005-2006 Caribbean cruise season with its ship, "easyCruise One".

The "easyCruise" web site is now selling Caribbean cruises beginning November 12, 2005, until April 26, 2006, with prices beginning at $16.20 USD per person per night for a cabin, based on two people sharing. Ports of call include: Bridgetown in Barbados (Saturday and Sunday), Kingstown in St. Vincent (Monday), Fort de France in Martinique (Tuesday), Bequia in The Grenadines (Wednesday), St George",s in Grenada (Thursday) and Castries in St. Lucia (Friday). Barbados, Martinique, Grenada and St. Lucia all have international airports with a selection of direct flights from the U.S., London, Paris and other destinations.

"easyCruise" offers travelers a unique "luxe for less" opportunity to visit enticing destinations via flexible one-week itineraries that allow cruisers to embark and depart at any port along the route, provided they stay onboard for at least two nights. During the Caribbean season, easyCruiseOne will remain in Barbados for two days and nights to enable passengers to accommodate preferred flight arrangements.

"easyCruiseOne"`s inaugural summer itinerary in the French and Italian Rivieras concludes October 15, 2005, with the ship then spending a week at the MIPCOM TV festival in Cannes. The ship will then sail to the Caribbean to begin its winter itinerary.
