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.

cruise ship for years.
