easyCruise Life Enters Service

easyCruise added a second ship to the fleet when easyCruise Life entered service May 17 almost a month late due to an ongoing labor action at the Greek shipyard where the €20 million refit was taking place. The ship will initially be operating Greek island itineraries.

The ship is almost twice the size of easyCruise One. The line said they have shelved their previously-announced plans for newbuilds for now, and are instead looking for another similarly-sized ship to replace easyCruise One.

In the CND article, we looked at how different the two ships are and how they represent the evolution of the easyCruise concept.
