Introduced in Europe with great fanfare in 2005 by Stelios (like celebrities, he goes by one name), the business model for easyCruise was easily the quirkiest endeavour to hit the cruise industry. Stelios, known as a "serial" entrepreneur and the guiding force behind low-fare air carrier easyJet, has designed a cross between a traditional cruise ship and a ferry.

You've never considered a traditional cruise but find the idea of sampling a different destination every day is appealing.

You don't mind paying extra for anything and everything on board in exchange for a very low up-front fare.

Your expectations and your budget are low.

You have a high-maintenance wardrobe and tend to over-pack. Only "suites" have close-to-adequate storage.

Your expectations are for pampering attention and over-the-top services with facilities to match.

You can't take care of yourself and make your own good times without a rigid schedule of activities.
