These travelers are living their own experience. Gilligan's Island plot.
Passengers on Villa Vie Residences' Odyssey cruise ship were set to set sail on a three-and-a-half-year voyage around the world in May, but due to problems with the ship, they have been living in Belfast, Northern Ireland, for the past three months.
The world cruise offered travelers the chance to purchase a cabin, called a “villa,” and live at sea for the entire voyage, visiting 425 ports in 147 countries on seven continents. Cabins started at $119,999, plus a flat monthly fee. According to the cruise websitePassengers also had the option of signing up for shorter trips, lasting a few months or a year.
However, the ship, which was originally built in 1993 but stopped operating in 2020, has been experiencing problems with its rudder and gearbox, leading to the three-month delay. The Odyssey is currently undergoing maintenance at the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast, which is where the Titanic was built more than 100 years ago.
