French Riviera cruising for budget travelers

[WillTravel]

The price still seems on the high side, for me at least, but if you want this sort of thing at a cheaper price than usual, you can get it:

US$800 for a week! just for the bed, no food or drinks. a little rich for my blood.

It's asking me to register, but is that Easycruise? I've been reading up about it and many people think it'll fail. It's simply too expensive for what it is - Mediteranean cruises aren't that expensive, especially when you consider that they include entertainment, food etc. Once you add this kind of stuff on you reach a price point where the majority of people will settle for the traditional option.

A quick search has found a week long Med cruise with Costa line for £500. Sure, it's a bit more expensive, but I for one would pay the difference.

Interestingly, the only real success for Easygroup has been Easyjet. Everything else has pretty much failed, in some cases spectacularly (Easycinema anyone?).

Yes, it's EasyCruise. The initial cost is 29.50 pounds per person per night, for a spartan cabin with no housekeeping.

Obviously it's possible in most cases to get a double hotel room of that sort for 59 pounds.
