Following the recent US presidential election, Villa Vie Residences has introduced a four-year “Skip Forward” cruise package. This announcement came on 7 November, a day after Donald Trump was declared the 47th president of the United States.
The “Skip Forward” package offers a global voyage on the Villa Vie Odyssey cruise liner, covering all seven continents and visiting over 425 ports in 140 countries. The cost for a double-occupancy room is US$159,999 per person, while single occupancy is priced at US$255,999.
Passengers will stay in ocean view cabins and enjoy an all-inclusive package that includes meals, complimentary beer and wine during dinner, and access to on-board amenities such as spa and fitness facilities. Additional complimentary services include Wi-Fi, medical visits, weekly housekeeping, and bi-weekly laundry service.
Villa Vie Residences CEO Mikael Petterson stated, “Although the campaign was put together before the results of the election, we feel we have a perfect product for those who said they’d leave the country if ‘XYZ’ wins the election.” He added, “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.”
The Villa Vie Odyssey, which can accommodate up to 600 guests, is currently in the second year of its 15-year global tour. It will eventually visit all seven continents, 13 Wonders of the World, and over 100 tropical islands.
Anne Alms, head of Sales for Villa Vie Residences, highlighted the unique experience offered by the company’s cruises, stating, “Your villa is your bedroom, and the ship is your home, she’ll take you across the globe to endless horizons.”
The company also offers one- to three-year cruise packages, with prices starting from US$49,999 per person.
