Villa Vie Residencesa cruise company specialized in residential cruises, has launched a new package of long duration tours. It is a set of trips and stays that can last up to four years and that invite you to experience a different way of living and exploring the world. By launching the program just two days after the elections in the United States, many have interpreted the offer as an invitation to escape from the new term of Donald Trump.
“There was no goal to cause a political scandal, but to offer a real way for people who are disappointed with the election results to distance themselves from reality.“, a company spokesperson told Quartz as a result of the conversation generated.
Although Villa Vie Residences did not make a direct reference to Donald Trump’s victory on November 5 in its statement, the names it gave to the different packages announced have led to the ipolitical interpretation. And its new Tour La Vie program It consists of up to four different options.
Thus, you can enjoy a year on a cruise with the plan “Escape from reality”, for $50,000 per person; or two years of travel with “Mid-Term Selection”for $94,000 per head. This offer would allude with its name to the electoral process in the United States, which involves the election of half of the legislature of the country’s House of Representatives and a third of the Senate, as well as governors.
The program announced by Villa Vie Residences on November 7 also includes the three-year plan “Everywhere but Home” (Everywhere except at home), and the four-year-old, called “Skip Forward” (Move forward). Their prices would be 130,000 and 160,000 dollars per person respectively.
All of these options are offered for the cruise Villa Vie Odissey, which, as the company explains, has space for 600 residents. It stops at more than 425 ports in 140 countries, where it invites you to discover each culture.
The Tour La Vie program is not the first time that the company plays with the political, social and economic situation. A few months ago it launched the option “Endless Horizons”, especially aimed at people thinking about retiring or already retired who are afraid of inflation. As stated, it offers unlimited access to stays at prices lower than those of maintaining a home.
