About Villa Vie Odyssey
With around 300 residents on board, the Villa Vie Odyssey is one of two residential cruise ships currently operating. The ship offers an exclusive experience for its guests that allows passengers to buy their cabins and become owners of a part of the ship. In addition, the company offers options for renting accommodation and booking sections of the round-the-world cruise.
Following its debut in September 2024, the Villa Vie Odyssey has toured the world on itineraries that include a global circumnavigation every three years. In 2025, the cruise includes a passage through South America, with stops in 21 ports and destinations along the Brazilian coastline.
Originally built for Crown Cruise Line in the 1990s, the Villa Vie Odyssey was acquired by Villa Vie Residences in 2023 and underwent an extensive refurbishment. With capacity for around 900 passengers, the ship now offers areas such as a community office and a culinary center.
