Dear MEL Topic Readers, 
She left her home in California to live on a cruise ship for 15 years
Villa Vie Odyssey is a 24,000-ton, 200-meter-long residential cruise ship where people can live aboard and travel around the world. Unlike ordinary cruise ships that sail passengers for days, weeks, or months, she accommodates just hundreds of “residents” who purchased their cabins and take them to various destinations around the world for as long as 15 years. The residents purchase their cabin like a condominium and then pay monthly fees for food and drinks, Wi-Fi, medical visits, weekly housekeeping, and bi-weekly laundry service. They can enjoy a continuous 3.5-year journey around the world while engaging with the other 500 or so residents on board. Some residents stay on the ship just for months, while others intend to live on board until the end of the voyage. Once onboard, you can enjoy watching the ocean and sky, feeling the ocean breeze, and bathing in the sunlight on the deck while checking what the next stop will be like. It may be more vibrant and entertaining than living alone in a house or a quiet care home on the ground. Also, if you are a remote worker, living on a residential cruise ship is just like renting a private, full-service office at sea. Since housing prices have soared in major markets, buying a cabin on a residential cruise ship might be a good option.
