Villa Vie Odyssey Finally Sets Sail After Delays

The Villa Vie Odyssey cruise ship, which has been stranded off the coast of Northern Ireland for four months, is expected to finally embark on its long-awaited three-and-a-half-year global voyage. Initially scheduled to depart in May, the ship faced multiple delays due to mechanical issues and incomplete paperwork, causing frustration among its 125 passengers. After setting sail briefly on Monday night, the ship anchored again less than 12 hours later, remaining in Belfast Lough as final administrative tasks were completed. Passengers have been making the most of their extended stay in Belfast, with some even finding love during their unexpected delay. The ship is now slated to leave for Brest, France, before continuing its journey to various ports worldwide. Amid the setbacks, the mood among passengers has remained optimistic, with many eager to finally set sail.
