easyCruise

easyCruise is a kind of cruising hostel. It makes Greek island hopping cheap and fun, with more time spent on land than on the boat

The folks—OK, one folk, a Greek-born entrepreneur named Stelios—behind discount airline easyJet are entering the cruise market in summer 2005 with an old Renaissance Cruises ship they have refurbished and rechristened as the easyCruiseOne (www.easycruise.com).

In winter, It has been cruising the Caribbean, and since summer 2007 easyCruise dropped its old Italian/French Riviera run in favor of heading to the Aegean and cruising between a number of Greek islands—some of them moderately famous, several virtually unknown (and therefore little spoiled by mass tourism). It was so successful, they bought a second boat to introduce to the Aegean market in 2008, visiting a combo of Greek Island and the Turkish coast.

With so few cruise itineraries, why would I single out this company? EasyCruise differs from a regular cruise in four main ways, detailed below.
