Stranded luxury cruise ship Villa Vie Odyssey still stuck off coast of Northern Ireland

The luxury cruise liner stranded in Belfast for four months remains anchored off the coast of Northern Ireland after two failed attempts to finally set sail on a round-the-world voyage.

The Villa Vie Odyssey was originally due to embark on a “perpetual” three-and-a-half-year trip on 30 May but was marooned after requiring repairs, leaving passengers stranded in Belfast over summer.

Villa Vie Odyssey set sail on three-and-a-half-year voyage on Monday after repairs but departure delayed again.
