Villa Vie Odyssey Sets Sail on Revolutionary 1301-Day World Cruise Adventure

Villa Vie Residences has embarked on an unparalleled journey in the cruising industry with the acquisition of the MS Braemar, rechristened as Villa Vie Odyssey. This marks a significant milestone for the emerging residential cruise line, which envisions a unique way of life at sea for its guests. Villa Vie Odyssey is not just a ship but a floating home that offers its residents the chance to circumnavigate the globe every 3.5 years. This innovative concept combines the luxury of cruise travel with the stability and comfort of home, offering ownership of villa-style staterooms on board.

The Odyssey's transformation is set to be a multi-million dollar endeavor that will introduce luxurious amenities and residential units designed to cater to a sophisticated palate. With renovations taking place in Belfast, Ireland, the ship is slated to feature enhanced facilities including a state-of-the-art business center, an expanded pool deck, exclusive culinary workshops, and a golf simulator among other top-notch amenities. Each of the 480 staterooms will be fully refurbished to meet the highest standards of comfort and elegance, promising a seamless blend of adventure and homeliness.

Captain Jozo Glavic, with his extensive experience in navigating the MS Braemar, including the historic voyage through Greece's Corinth Canal, has been appointed to lead the Odyssey on its global journey. The Ultimate World Cruise is scheduled to set sail from Southampton, England, on May 15, 2024. This ambitious 1,301-day voyage will take residents to 425 ports across 147 countries, providing an incomparable exploration of the world's marvels. From the lush landscapes of Northern Europe to the vibrant cultures of the Caribbean and beyond, the Odyssey promises a voyage of discovery and luxury.

An all-encompassing lifestyle awaits the residents aboard the Odyssey, where every detail is crafted for comfort and convenience. From fully furnished living spaces and 24/7 medical support to high-speed internet and a wide array of public amenities, residents will find everything they need for a fulfilling life at sea. The ship offers flexible living options, allowing travelers to choose between owning and renting their villa. This initiative not only promises an all-inclusive lifestyle but also grants residents the opportunity to be part of the cruise line's decision-making process, fostering a community spirit among the voyagers.

For those intrigued by the idea of a prolonged journey but unable to commit to the full 3.5 years, Villa Vie Odyssey offers the option to embark on shorter segments of the cruise, ranging from 35 to 131 days. This flexibility ensures that the Odyssey's revolutionary model of residential cruising caters to a wide range of preferences and schedules, making the dream of living at sea accessible to many. As Villa Vie Residences gears up for this monumental voyage, the Odyssey stands as a testament to the boundless possibilities of residential cruising, redefining the meaning of home and adventure on the high seas.
