Barbados, Martinique, Grenada and St Lucia all offer an international airport with flights from London, Paris and the USA.

This experience, beginning on 15th November, is followed by the whole of the tourism sector and is already adopted by internet users, dashing for their booking.

What is easyCruise ?

Passengers can come and go while the ship is at bay to see the restaurants, bars, nightclubs, to have a walk, to do some shopping, to go to the beach, to use their time as it fits them best, or to join one of the excursions proposed on board.

Different services are offered on board : Ritazza café, Sports bar and a cocktail bar animated during some evenings by a DJ. The ship also owns a 6-place Jacuzzi and a fitness room.

The ship sets out during the first lights of dawn to reach its next destination. The flexibility of its one week itineraries allow passengers to get on board from any port along the cruise, on condition that they stay at least 2 nights and not more than two weeks (2 complete itineraries).

Double cabins, 4 bed cabins and even suites will be available from 27 euros a night for two persons for passengers booking the day the service is online. The fares will increase according to the demand and the booking period.

The ship offers three types of cabins: 72 double cabins, 6 cabins with four places and four suites. The double cabins measure about 10 square meters and hold two single beds (which form a double bed if you place them next to each other). The four place cabins measure about 15 square meters and hold two series of two beds. Finally, the suites measure 24 square meters and hold two single beds (which form a double bed if you place them next to each other). The suites are located on the front bridge and open on balconies. All the cabins are equipped with toilets, a shower and a washbasin. The suites are the only cabins with windows, nevertheless all cabins are equipped with air conditioning. The cabins also offer sheets, towels and soap, however, passengers will pay 15 euros, payable on board, to have their cabin, sheets and towels cleaned during the cruise.
