Residential cruise ship startup Villa Vie has hit the one milestone its competitors have been struggling to achieve: acquiring a vessel for its never-ending cruise.
On Tuesday, Villa Vie — helmed by former Storylines and Life at Sea Cruises employees — announced it had purchased Fred Olsen Cruise Lines' Braemar vessel, now renamed the Villa Vie Odyssey. In May 2024, the potential cruise operator says this 924-passenger ship will then embark on a never-ending itinerary, circumnavigating the globe every 3 ½ years.
