Villa Vie Residences has revealed significant changes to the itinerary of its three-year world cruise aboard the Odyssey, which recently began service.
Originally planned to explore North America and the Caribbean in October, the cruise will now commence its journey in Europe.
This comes after a launch that was notably delayed by several months, with many false starts before the itinerary could begin.
The Odyssey, a ship originally built in 1993, will now start its European tour, visiting destinations such as France, Portugal, Spain, Gibraltar, and Morocco.
A notable highlight includes sailing up the Guadalquivir River for a two-day visit to Seville, Spain.
Following this, the ship will proceed to the Canary Islands, stopping in Funchal, Madeira, and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, before heading to Africa with scheduled visits to Dakar, Senegal, and two ports in Cape Verde: Porto Grande and Praia.
After completing its African segment, the Odyssey will embark on an eight-day transatlantic journey, resuming its original itinerary in Bridgetown, Barbados, by mid-November.
In December, before transiting the Panama Canal, the ship will visit Caribbean destinations such as St. Maarten, Fort-de-France, and St. John’s.
In early 2025, the Odyssey will explore South America, with plans to navigate the Amazon River and offer scenic cruising in Antarctica.
The ship will make its North American debut in April, focusing on the U.S. West Coast, followed by summer exploration of Alaska and Canada.
The itinerary was up in the air following the delayed launch, but now those guests who’ve bought residential cabins can start to look forward to exploring the world with this new itinerary.
Cabins are also available for anyone who wishes to join the ship for part of the journey – segments are on sale now through the Villa Vie Residences website.
