A Florida-based cruise company, Villa Vie Residences, has introduced a unique offer for Americans disillusioned by the results of the November 2024 U.S. presidential election. Their "Tour La Vie" program provides an option to escape for up to four years aboard their luxury cruise ship, the Villa Vie Odyssey. This program allows participants to visit over 425 ports in 140 countries, with options ranging from a one-year to a four-year stay. Prices start at $40,000 per person per year.
Mikael Petterson, the company's founder, stated that the idea for the program was conceived before the election, though he believes that the results may drive more Republicans to seek an escape. The ship, which can accommodate up to 600 residents, offers various living options for digital nomads, business owners, and retirees looking for a change of scenery.
The "Tour La Vie" program promises a flexible, high-end lifestyle where residents can enjoy new surroundings every day, with all their needs catered for. Petterson emphasized that the cruise offers an ideal getaway for those wanting a change of pace during a politically turbulent time. Whether for a brief hiatus or a longer escape, the program provides a chance to live out one's travel dreams while avoiding the stress of current political events.
