Villa Vie Residences

We never thought we'd be living our dream of slow travel on a beautiful cruise ship! As residents of Villa Vie Odyssey, we've been blown away by the incredible lifestyle and the ship itself. It's even better than we imagined. We're so excited to share our experiences on our YouTube channel, where we're vlogging about our travels and the amazing community we've found here. It's like having our own home on the water, allowing us to explore the world at our own pace. The food is fantastic, the facilities are great and improving every day as the ship ends its inaugural voyage and settles into the perpetual world cruise, and the people are wonderful. We're so grateful we discovered Villa Vie Odyssey and took the leap. It's truly a life-changing experience.

Not a resident yet, though secured my spot with a deposit, and will be embarking on Villa Vie Odyssey within the next few months. I’m very close to the community WhatsApp communication group and love seeing all their wonderful experiences. With a fabulous itinerary, lovely couples and solo travelers, I can’t wait to be a part of this voyage for many years to come. The VVR team I have interacted with have been delightful, and the sales team are really helpful without being pushy at all.

Over-the-top waaay fun small-ish cruise ship!! Run by people who care about us who are onboard. My shipmates and I have fun in so many beautiful places, and often hear comments from people in the places we visit to that effect. Laughter is contagious! I feel incredibly fortunate to call this my home.

We stayed for a week in December on their Try Before You Buy. It worked. We went back home and did more research and bought a Villa. We're getting rid of everything and embarking next month in Colombia!

When I am not having what is literally the BEST time of my life onboard the Odyssey, I do enjoy reading negative reviews from people that have no idea of what they are talking about :) From the first day I have never regretted my decision to change my life on this journey, and the crew are incredible. Happy to be sharing my life with new friends, adventurers, and optimistic believers. Happier to avoid the rest!

Amazing opportunity to travel the world at an affordable rate; while enjoying fantastic food, good nomad working facilities and a warm community. My teenage son and I are thoroughly enjoying our new home on Villa Vie Odyssey.

Living on a cruise ship was a dream, travelling the world was a dream. Villa Vie Residences made this come true with the Odyssey. Don’t believe me??follow The Kiwi Odyssey on YouTube and see what we are doing.

Living aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey has been the adventure of a lifetime! My partner and I joined this residential cruise on September 30, 2024, and as of July 2025, we’ve already traveled to 100 ports across 53 countries — all without ever packing and unpacking a suitcase again. This ship is more than just a way to see the world — it’s our floating home, complete with a close-knit community of like-minded travelers who’ve become our ship family. From waking up in a new country to experiencing local culture, cuisine, and hidden gems every few days, life on board is truly magical. We’ve explored everything from vibrant cities to remote islands, all while having the comforts of home with us — our own bed, our routines, and the joy of not having to plan every detail. The Odyssey has changed our lives in the best way, and we can’t wait to see where the next 300+ ports take us over the next 15 years! If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing the world slowly and intentionally, this is it. 🌍🛳️ #LivingLifeonaCruise #VillaVieOdyssey
