EASYCRUISE TO TRIPLE CAPACITY, 540-GUEST SHIP TO JOIN FLEET IN 2008

LONDON, October 3, 2007 - The tremendous success of easyCruise's inaugural
summer season in Greece has prompted the unorthodox and innovative cruise
operator to more than triple its capacity for summer 2008. The line's new
flagship, to be named easyCruise Life, will accommodate 540 passengers and
will enter service in April 2008.

The hallmark of easyCruise is that itineraries include overnight stays in
port so guests can enjoy nighttime fun ashore. The new vessel will offer a
seven-night itinerary that visits Turkey for the first time, calling at
Bodrum, one of the country's most popular resorts. Bodrum is awash in white,
stucco hillside houses, charming waterfront cafés and ancient treasures, and
enjoys a nightlife known throughout the Aegean.

The new itineraries will also showcase six different Greek Islands from
laidback Syros and Samos to lively Kalymnos, Kos, Paros and Mykonos, the
legendary jet-set mecca. Guests can uniquely choose to join the cruise in
Piraeus (Athens) on Saturdays or in Bodrum on Mondays.

"Since easyCruise launched two years ago we have offered an affordable way
to see intriguing places that are difficult to reach, except by sea," said
Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, chairman of easyCruise. "It is clear that staying
in port until the early morning hours has broad appeal because many
travelers also want to experience the local nightlife."

Cruise fares start from as low as $143 per person, based on double
occupancy, for seven nights aboard easyCruise Life and include port taxes.
Cabins are equipped with ensuite bathrooms with shower, and fresh linens and
towels upon arrival. Meals, drinks, spa treatments, sightseeing tours and
housekeeping services are not included, but are reasonably priced and can be
purchased from the line in advance or on board.

The 12,711-ton easyCruise Life is three times the size of her yacht-like,
sister ship easyCruise One (4,011 tons). The vessel - named Lev Tolstoy by
her original Soviet owners - was built at Poland's Szczecin shipyard in 1981
and extensively refurbished in 1989. It will undergo a further,
multi-million-dollar update before emerging in her new easyCruise livery.

Facilities will include enhanced versions of the modern Aptiva Spa and
innovative fusionon6 combination restaurant/discotheque that can be found on
easyCruise One, plus broad teak sundecks, a large outdoor swimming pool and
hot tub. Guests can also choose from a range of accommodations that includes
23 Panoramic Suites and 14 superior doubles, all of which feature picture
windows; 76 oceanview standard twin cabins, 45 oceanview standard quad
cabins, and 112 interior standard twins.

This fall and next spring, the line's easyCruise One will be deployed on a
new seven-night itinerary that showcases some of the most amazing
archaeological sites in Classical Greece, including Mycenae, Nemea, Olympia
and Delphi. As a highlight, timings have been planned so that guests can
experience the Acropolis by night and witness a Sounion sunset. In summer
2008, the ship will again offer her popular long-weekend cruises to Poros,
Mykonos, Paros and Sifnos. A new 10-night itinerary will transit the Corinth
Canal to the islands of the Ionian Sea, including Ithaki, Paxos, Corfu,
Kefallonia, Zakynothos, Itea (for Delphi), Corinth, Preveza and Agioi
Saranta, Albania, which serves as a gateway to Butrint, a UNEXCO World
Heritage Site.
