Villa Vie Odyssey Launches Unprecedented Residential Cruise: Live on the Water with Endless Horizons Program
LONDON and NEW YORK – August 7, 2025 – A novel lifestyle— part luxury residence, part perpetual cruise—is now real with Villa Vie Residences’ groundbreaking Endless Horizons Program aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey. Starting at USD $349,999 for solo travelers, this all-in-one offering enables people to own cabins, call a floating world home, and travel to stunning destinations without ever looking back.
After overcoming technical delays in Belfast, the former MS Braemar renovated into a permanent cruise-living ship now sails around the globe for 3.5 years straight, visiting 425 ports across 147 countries with extended stays in each locale.
Life at Sea: Home, Office, Adventure All-in-One
Villa Vie’s thoughtfully designed living experience includes 24/7 cabin service, robust high-speed internet, wellness facilities like spas and fitness spaces, entertainment lounges, and even a pickleball court . The concept is simple: you own a home that moves, offering a global lifestyle without constant packing or booking.
Cabin pricing begins at:
- Ocean View Villa: USD $349,999 (solo) or $599,999 (double)
- Our Suites: USD $1.24M (solo), $1.74M (double)
- Optional Endless Horizons Unleashed upgrade adds wellness, medical, and grooming perks for an extra USD $50,000
Inside cabins, balcony suites, and owner’s suites offer versatility in comfort and space, with sizes ranging from 130 sq ft to spacious, full-suite layouts
A Global Path for Slower, Richer Exploration
The Oasis at Sea model includes immersive itineraries with port stays of 2–7 days. Recent highlights feature the 100th port drop—the scenic sight of Hoonah, Alaska—a major milestone in July 2025. Voyage segments span continents including the Caribbean, Amazon, Arctic, Antarctica, South Pacific, and more.
A press feature spotlighted Sharon Lane, a 77-year-old retiree from California, who sold her home to live aboard as a “global resident,” calling it more affordable than California living. Other residents hail from all walks of life, forming a close-knit community while enjoying full service and freedom.
Exclusive Amenities and Future Expansion
To enhance life aboard, Villa Vie is launching a Floating Oasis platform in Fall 2025. This water-access facility will provide direct swimming, sun lounging, and water-sport amenities in tropical anchorages like the South Pacific, Maldives, and Seychelles.
Affordable, Flexible Ownership Options
The Odyssey allows for flexible living models:
- Full Ownership from USD $129,999 for an inside cabin—yours to customize, share, or resell.
- Segment-based cruising starting at USD $49,999 per year for shorter deliveries up to 120 days.
With remote work fully supported via business center and high-speed internet, its residents continue professional lives while exploring endlessly.
A Bold Leap Toward a New Luxury Lifestyle
Mikael Petterson, Founder and Chairman of Villa Vie Residences, describes the Odyssey as “redefining retirement,” offering a stress-free, adventurous life in perpetual motion.
Its affordability stands out—compared to residence-ships like The World priced around USD $2.5 million, Odyssey offers a comparatively accessible entry point into residential cruising.
Final Boarding Call for Endless Adventure
The Villa Vie Odyssey invites a new class of travelers toward a life unfettered by place—where home moves as they do, horizons change by the destination, not the zip code.
