Schedule MV Odyssey - Truk Lagoon / Micronesia

In May, 1999 Odyssey International, Inc., purchased the Marie-Anda from Blue Lagoon Cruises who is located in Lautoka, Fiji. The Marie-Anda was built in 1978 in Fiji for Blue Lagoon Cruises to be used as a small cruise ship which accommodated 40 passengers for 1-7 day cruises around the Yasawa Islands in Fiji. In July, 1999, renovations began on the Marie-Anda transforming her into the breathtaking new Odyssey. The 20 cabins were removed and replaced with 9 very spacious staterooms and a comfortable entertainment lounge.

Dive Deck: During your stay in Truk Lagoon you will find that the majority of your diving will easily be done directly off the Odyssey while we are moored over the dive site. Once you arrive and set up your gear in your own private seat and protected dive locker, you won`t have to take your gear apart until you prepare to go home. Your tank (air or Nitrox) will be conveniently filled at your seat. You`ll find that the spacious dive platform (13' x 6') has plenty of room for two divers plus a divemaster. Two 7' ladders to help you out of the water where you can step up to the convenient freshwater shower to rinse off with. Just 4 steps to the dive deck and you`ll find the camera rinse tanks (one on either side of the boat). Past the camera rinse tanks are the gear rinse tanks. For our photographers, we have a large, sturdy, 3-tiered, carpeted photo table for all your working needs. There`s plenty of space to hang your wetsuit on the bar just in front of the protected fan blowing warm air out of the engine room! Ahhh! Dining Area: The most striking room on the Odyssey. Attractive Fijian teak tables that can easily seat a full boat and her crew. Full service wet bar which is made out of coconut wood (also known as palmwood. After coconut trees fall, the wood is collected, treated and used to make gorgeous furniture.) The Odyssey's dining salon is fully carpeted and air conditioned with two walls of spacious windows for viewing the beauty of the islands in Truk Lagoon. Dining Area: Delicious buffet-style meals are the norm for the Odyssey. We feel its more relaxed and similar to being at home. Breakfast includes a hot breakfast plus toast, cereals, fruit and juices. Guests are served delicious lunches and snacks throughout the day. Hot, savory, hearty dinners will complete your exciting day of diving, eating and relaxing. Don`t forget the most important part of the meal though…the dessert!

We have a well stocked fridge to quench your thirst while you settle in for a good movie (with close to 300 DVD titles to choose from — even current ones) on our NTSC/PAL TV, VCR and DVD player. Please feel free to bring your own as our crew always loves to see new movies. Listen to some music on the stereo system or find a good book to read in the library. Start a game (board games or cards) with your fellow passengers or crew or look through our various fish identification books. Odyssey also has a well-stocked boutique located in the lounge. Sun Deck: We haven`t forgotten about you sun worshippers! Just behind the dining area we have a nice size sun deck with lounge chairs and deck chairs. There is also a covered section where you can still be outside, but not in direct sun. This is also were we meet for the dive briefings.
