Cruise Conundrum: Passengers Await Departure After Three-Year Berth Purchase

Get ready for an exciting adventure as Villa Vie Residences' Odyssey sets sail next week! The ship, currently undergoing repairs in Belfast, will embark on a three-and-a-half-year round-the-world voyage.

The Odyssey, a US cruise liner, will visit 425 ports in 147 countries on seven continents. It offers travelers the unique opportunity to live at sea in cabins called villas, starting at $99,999 plus a monthly fee.

While the ship is being repaired, passengers like Lanette Canen and Johan Bodin are eagerly awaiting the launch. They've given up life on land to become seaborne nomads on this years-long cruise.

Canen plans to run her Arizona-based auto-glass business from the ship, while Bodin is documenting their journey on YouTube.

The residential cruising business has faced challenges, but Villa Vie Residences remains optimistic. They're determined to make the Odyssey's voyage a success, offering travelers an unforgettable experience.
