The startup of Villa Vie Residences has moved to July 30.

Initially set to welcome its passengers onboard on May 15, 2024, the company was more recently planning to start service on July 20, 2024.

According to an update shared by the company on Friday, the Villa Vie Odyssey is now set to kick off an amended itinerary starting on July 30, 2024.

Operating the former Braemar, Villa Vie plans to offer a unique product that will allow guests to live onboard as the ship sails across the world on a continuous basis.

“Due to recent changes in our embarkation schedule, we have made some adjustments to ensure a seamless and enriching journey for all our residents,” Villa Vie said.

“Our team has worked diligently to craft an adventure that exceeds expectations, reflecting our commitment to providing unparalleled experiences and exploration,” the company added.

With the alterations, the Villa Vie Odyssey is now set to offer a 1,301-day itinerary to 425 destinations across the globe.

Most of the changes are concentrated on the first segment of the voyage, which is scheduled to sail to ports of call in Europe and the Atlantic.

After being taken over by Villa Vie in March, the Odyssey has been undergoing a refurbishment at the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Northern Ireland.

While recent updates shared by the company stated that the 1993-built vessel is virtually ready to welcome guests, the project has faced several pushbacks.

“We are currently in drydock and have had technical delays beyond our control,” Villa Vie said in a recent social media post.

Responding to a comment, the company also stated that guests are being offered different compensations for the series of delays.

“Different situations warrant different compensation. Many residents stayed home and got credited for their cruise fare. Some took advantage of us sending them on another cruise and a trip to the Canaries,” Vila Vie’s official profile said.

“Others decided to do their own thing with a daily allowance. We have had ship tours and excursions for those who decided to stay,” the company added.
