Imagine waking up every morning in a new and exciting destination, with the gentle rocking of the ship and the sound of waves crashing against the hull. A luxury cruise company is now turning this fantasy into reality. Villa Vie Residences offers an "Endless Horizons" program that lets you retire at sea for life, visiting 147 countries and 425 destinations in a 3.5-year cycle.
The exclusive offer allows travellers to enjoy their retirement or work remotely from the ship for the rest of their lives. In contrast to conventional cruises that hurry from port to port, the Villa Vie Odyssey takes its time exploring each and every destination.

The ship will stop at different locations for at least five or more days, giving residents plenty of time to fully experience the sights and culture of each city or island before continuing their journey. This one-of-a-kind experience can be the retirement house of your dreams, where your backyard may be the beaches of Southeast Asia one month and the Mediterranean the next.
The most budget-friendly option for a perpetual stay on the ship starts at $349,999 for one person and $599,999 for a couple, reported the New York Post. Premium packages are also offered for those seeking a more luxurious experience, starting at $1.24 million for solo travellers and $1.74 million for couples.
Given that the guests will be staying on the ship for an extended period of time, the spacious rooms onboard come with queen-sized beds, large bathrooms and comfortable workspaces. Additionally, the cruise offers spa services and medical care for an extra $50,000, along with a library, workout centre, pickleball court, restaurants, entertainment areas, and a spa. The Odyssey can carry up to 650 guests.
