Creator's Key Takeaways
We bought a cabin on a ship. Not for a vacation. Not for a few months. We made it our home.
We're going to talk about our story. I noticed that when I was looking through all the videos that we don't have one video talking from the beginning to where we're at now.
We loved Maui, loved Kihei where we lived. Um we were just doing the same thing over and over.
We just wanted to lock in the price for the 15 20 years.

We bought a cabin on a ship. Not for a vacation. Not for a few months. We made it our home. In this video, we’re sharing the full story of how two ordinary people ended up living full-time aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey, a residential cruise ship that travels the world continuously. From running businesses and living a traditional life on land to selling possessions, taking a leap of faith, and moving onto a ship, this journey has been anything but ordinary. We’ll share: ⚓ Why we decided to leave land life behind ⚓ How we discovered residential cruising ⚓ What it actually costs to live on a ship ⚓ The delays and challenges we faced before boarding ⚓ What daily life is really like onboard ⚓ The biggest surprises along the way ⚓ Whether this lifestyle has been worth it We’re not retired. We still work remotely while traveling the world. This lifestyle isn’t for everyone, but for us it became a chance to stop waiting for “someday” and start living now. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to live on a cruise ship full-time, this is our story. 🛳️ WATCH NEXT Life Onboard the Villa Vie Odyssey Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdtPbhkMTVCX5wop5SCSsChXqOS2_-kPa Move-In Day Video: https://youtu.be/Am3hYL9o3ic Ship Tour Video: https://youtu.be/vgklJ_Eijco ⸻ 🌎 FOLLOW OUR JOURNEY Track our real-time location: https://livinglifeonacruise.com/realtime/ All Our Links: https://linktr.ee/livinglifeonacruise ⸻ 📸 CRUISE LIFE GEAR WE ACTUALLY USE https://livinglifeonacruise.com/cruise-life-gear-we-actually-use/ (Some links may be affiliate links, which help support our channel at no extra cost to you.) ⸻ ❤️ ABOUT US We’re Lanette and Johan.
