If you are one of the many Americans planning an escape next year, this unique adventure might be exactly what you’re looking for.
Residential cruise line Villa Vie Residences announced the Tour La Vie program which offers passengers the opportunity to live aboard its ship, the Villa Vie Odyssey, for up to four years.
Villa Vie’s CEO, Mikael Petterson tells CNBC Make It the new program was planned before Election Day. And while is is not a reaction to the outcome, the offering is is well-timed.
“Although our latest campaign Tour La Vie was put together before the results of the election, we feel we have a perfect product for those who’d want leave the country for any reason,” he said in an email statement.
Early this month, CNBC reported that in a survey by Arton Capital, which advises the wealthy on immigration programs, 53% of American millionaires said they’re more likely to leave the U.S. after the election, no matter who wins.
“Onboard, we may have differing political views, but our community comes together through our passion for exploring the world in a very real way that goes far beyond politics,” Petterson said.
