Passengers on the Villa Vie Residences' Odyssey, who paid between £75,000 and £700,000 for cabins on a three-year world cruise, have been stranded in Belfast for three months due to technical issues with the ship's rudders and gearbox. Despite the delays, many passengers have tried to make the best of their extended stay by exploring Belfast or traveling to other destinations. The cruise line has provided accommodations and activities to alleviate passenger anxiety, but the situation has been frustrating, particularly due to the weather. The CEO of Villa Vie Residences expressed optimism about resolving the issues soon.
