ALASKA on a Residential Cruise Ship | Villa Vie Odyssey

Exploring Alaska by residential cruise ship offers a unique perspective. In this video, we take you to two of the most authentic ports of call: Homer and Kodiak Island. Watch as we explore the famous Homer Spit and seek out wildlife on Kodiak, all while living on the Villa Vie Odyssey. We're Chris and Michael, retired and traveling the world aboard a residential cruise ship. Our goal is to show you a different side of travel—one that's slower, more immersive, and incredibly fulfilling. From the fishing town of Homer to the rugged beauty of Kodiak, this episode captures the magic of Alaska in a way you've never seen before. ✨ What's on your travel bucket list?

ABOUT US: We are a couple (a psychologist and business executive) who retired early in order to travel and enjoy life. We spend half our time in Washington DC and the other half in extended slow travel all over the world. Lately our slow travel has been aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey in which we invested substantially in the cabin we own and a small amount in the company. Our philosophy is to "travel wide" but also to "travel deep" which means really getting to learn the stories unique to the destinations that we visit. Join us for the journey. ------------------------------------ HASHTAGS: #dchiddengems #residentialcruising #villavieresidences #villavieodyssey #gaytravel ------------------------------------ 🎦 Chapters 00:00 Intro to Villa Vie Odyssey in Alaska 00:55 Homer Alaska 03:43 Kodiak Alaska
