Sharon Lane, a 77-year-old Californian, has purchased a cabin on the Villa Vie Odyssey, a residential cruise ship, and plans to live on it for the next 15 years, circumnavigating the globe and enjoying a community of like-minded travelers, with amenities and destinations that make this a unique long-term living experience at sea.
Villa Vie Residences has launched a four-year cruise package called "Skip Forward," aimed at Americans looking to escape following Donald Trump's 2024 presidential election win. The package, part of the Tour La Vie program, costs $159,999 per person for a double room and offers an all-inclusive global journey. The cruise line also offers shorter packages and markets its services as a way to explore the world while addressing concerns about living expenses and inflation.
Villa Vie Residences plans to launch a residential cruise ship in May 2024, offering cabins starting at $100,000. The ship will circumnavigate the world every 3.5 years, stopping at 425 ports in 147 countries. This new venture aims to compete with existing luxury residential cruise ships like The World, which sells condos annually starting at $2 million. Other companies in the condominium-at-sea market have faced delays and setbacks, but Villa Vie Residences is confident in closing on a ship by the end of this year.
