The Villa Vie
Odyssey cruise ship docked at this Freeport on Tuesday morning (September 23) as its maiden
ship call here.
Subic Bay
Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) officials and employees were present to welcome
the passengers and crew of the Villa Vie Odyssey, along with representatives
from the Bureau of Immigration, Bureau of Quarantine, and other stakeholders.
Some 650
passengers disembarked from the cruise ship as the Villa Vie Odyssey stayed in the Freeport for two days, with her passengers visiting the many tourism
destinations inside Subic Bay Freeport.
The Villa Vie
Odyssey is a residential cruise ship offering a unique, full-time world cruise
experience for residents, or “global residents,” who purchase cabins for
long-term stays, rather than traditional shorter cruises.
Once known as
the Braemar, the 924-passenger ship was purchased by Villa Vie Residences in
2023 and underwent a significant refurbishment before its 2024 launch.
The ship is
designed to be smaller than mega-ships, allowing access to smaller, unique
ports, and features a variety of amenities, including dining, pools, a gym with
Peloton bikes, and community spaces for activities like art and fitness
classes. (MPD-SBMA)
