Villa Vie Residences is unveiling several new programs for travelers.

The residential cruise line, which recently set sail on its perpetual cruise that will circumnavigate the world every 3.5 years, is launching a new seasonal ownership program. Starting at $24,999, the program will allow travelers to join at any point along the journey, with stays ranging from 30 days to 9 months.

“Our seasonal ownership program is all about giving people the chance to truly live the cruise lifestyle on their own terms,” says Kathy Villalba, chief executive officer of Villa Vie Residences.

The company is also debuting new financing options, as well as a “Try Before You Buy” program that lets prospective residents visit the ship for 7 to 10 days before signing up.

Right now, the ship Villa Vie Odyssey is in the middle of a four-month exploration of South America. Next up, the vessel will head to the West Coast of the U.S., Hawaii and Alaska before sailing to Japan and the South Pacific.

“We're making the dream of traveling the globe by ship more attainable,” says Mikael Petterson, chairman of Villa Vie Residences. “With our new seasonal ownership and financing options, travelers can now experience this extraordinary lifestyle with minimal commitment and maximum flexibility.”
