Youtravel.com teams up with easyCruise
Online accommodation supplier youtravel.com has struck and exclusive deal to dynamically package easyCruise voyages.
The agreement will enable agents to book the line’s second ship easyCruise Life via the youtravel site.
The ship is to sail to six Greek Islands from April 2008, from Syros and Samos to Kalymnos, Kos, Paros and Mykonos for a 24 hour stay.
EasyCruise will visit Turkey for the first time with a full day and night in Bodrum.
Customers can choose where to join the cruise – in Athens on Saturday or in Bodrum on Monday.
Prices start at £19 per person per day between mid-April and the end of May through youtravel.com.
Youtravel.com chief executive John Kent said: “The cruise sector is one of the key areas of growth for the dynamic packaging sector in the coming years.
“Youtravel.com already offers Nile Cruises and cruises on gulets in Turkey, so to have teamed up with a leading cruise brand as we enter our second year of trading is a huge coup for us.”
Stelios Haji Ioannou, chief executive of easyCruise, said: “I’ve always said that easyCruise.com is a bit like a floating hotel so I am delighted to partner with hotel specialist youtravel.com.
“Through the partnership we can make cruising on our latest ship available as an alternative to a seven-day beach holiday at a single resort. On top of that travel agents can now book easyCruise.com using a system they are familiar with.”
