Headline: There's now a three-and-a-half-year cruise planning to set sail in May:
Byline: The Villa Vie Odyssey will travel to 425 ports and 147 countries.
(Various article lines):
Villa Vie Residences, another long-term cruise startup, has confirmed the purchase of a ship for its own three-and-a-half-year journey around the world. Departure is scheduled for May 2024.
In 2009, it was enlarged during a refurb, and was renovated again in 2019 - the same year that it became the longest ship to squeeze through the Corinth Canal.
So far, so regular. But then there are the touches that anyone traveling for 1,301 days across 147 countries and 425 ports: fast, reliable internet from Starlink and Viasat 3, and an "interactive culinary center" for those missing the kitchen, as well as for cooking classes.
There's good news for those for whom 1,301 days is not enough, too - the plan is to run the cruise into another, and then another, so that people can spend their lives at sea.
"If you stay for less than three years, it pays to rent; if you're going for longer than three years, it's better to buy," says Petterson.
