Cruise Passengers Stranded in Belfast for Three Months Due to Technical Issues

Villa Vie Residences' Odyssey faces delays over rudder and gearbox repairs, leaving travelers to explore Belfast.

The Odyssey was scheduled to depart on May 30 for a three-year world cruise.
Passengers have been allowed to stay on the ship during the day but must disembark at night.
Villa Vie Residences has provided lodging, meals, and entertainment to mitigate the inconvenience.
Some passengers have used the delay to travel around Europe and engage in local activities.
CEO Mike Petterson expects the ship to launch by the end of next week after successful sea trials.
