Refunds offered as easyCruise European river trips cancelled
EasyCruise has been forced to cancel sailings by its easyCruiseTwo riverboat operating between Amsterdam and Brussels.
No sailings will operate after Friday (August 17), the company confirmed on its website.
The company is to offer full refunds and a free cruise on its other ship sailing in the Mediterranean.
An easyCruise statement said: “easyCruise is in contact with all passengers that had been booked to travel with easyCruiseTwo and is offering a full refund for their cruise and travel arrangements as well as a complimentary cruise on easyCruiseOne to be taken by the end of 2008.
“This announcement does not affect easyCruise’s own ship, easyCruiseOne, which is currently sailing in Greece and which is operating as normal.
“In addition easyCruise continues to actively seek new vessels and new itineraries to expand the brand.”
The company said in an earlier statement that EasyCruiseTwo “is owned and operated on a franchise basis by a separate company called Boonstra Riverline. easyCruise was informed today (August 14) by Boonstra Riverline that due to their financial situation, they will not be able to operate cruises beyond 17 August 2007.
“This is earlier than the originally advised date of 28 September.”
EasyCruiseTwo carried 112 passengers in 52 cabins and 18 crew, with sailings from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, Antwerp and Brussels. The itinerary was designed to allow passengers to take a weekend, short break or a week, with morning sailings to each city.
