Stelios to sell cruises on eBay
EasyCruise holidays are to be made available to book on eBay.
Users will be able to buy cruises on both an ‘auction’ and ‘buy it now’ basis via eBay sites in the UK, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, India, US and Australia.
While auction prices will start at £1 in the UK, ‘buy it now’ prices lead-in at £30 per person, for a two night break and £39 per person for three nights, based on two people sharing a standard cabin.
EasyCruise founder Stelios Haji–Ioannou said: “Our primary business has always come via our internet site, www.easyCruise.com, so to link with the world’s online market place is obviously a perfect fit. The deal will offer consumers a completely new way to book their holidays, and we are very excited about the prospects this brings.”
The line’s French & Italian Riviera and Holland & Belgium programmes are available with its Caribbean itinerary coming on line within the next few weeks.
The deal has been facilitated by Cultuzz, a global technology company which is able to launch content live on multiple eBay market places simultaneously.
Global sales and marketing director Michael Hughes said: “This deal will see easyCruise available in local currencies and local languages simultaneously. It is a very exciting concept and gives consumers a completely new way to book their holiday.”
