Villa Vie Residences has unveiled an unprecedented opportunity for lifelong adventurers and retirees: the Golden Passport. This exclusive program transforms traditional travel into permanent residency at sea, inviting participants to live aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey—a residential cruise ship—on an all-inclusive, lifelong journey around the globe.
What the Golden Passport Includes
As officially announced in a recent PR Newswire release, key features of this groundbreaking package include.
- Lifetime residency at sea, starting from $99,999 for those aged 90+, with pricing tiers up to $399,999 for ages 55–59. Pricing scales with age under an age-tiered model that enhances accessibility across generations.
- All-inclusive lifestyle, encompassing gourmet dining, housekeeping, laundry, Wi-Fi (via Starlink), entertainment, and annual health check-ups—all covered with no hidden fees, including port taxes and service charges.
- World tour voyages lasting 3 to 3.5 years, circumnavigating all seven continents, covering 140+ countries, 400+ destinations, and 100+ tropical islands. Extended port stays of 2–3 days enable deeper cultural immersion, with visits including 12 of the 14 Wonders of the World.
Why the Golden Passport Stands Out
- Freedom and Flexibility: Eschews fixed itineraries, allowing residents to board or disembark at will—perfect for digital nomads, retirees, or globe-trotters.
- Trust & Transparency: One upfront payment with no hidden costs, minimizing retirement financial anxieties. “With the Golden Passport, uncertainty disappears,” says founder Mike Petterson.
- Lifestyle, Not Just Travel: Includes high-quality accommodation options—Porthole and Oceanview Villas—and allows inviting visitors from shore for $129/day, offering the feel of home while cruising.
Inside the Villa Vie Odyssey and Residential Cruise Concept
Villa Vie’s inaugural ship, the Villa Vie Odyssey, is a residential ship retrofitted to include comfortable villas, lounges, wellness centers, and dining venues. Built for long-term living, it has eight decks and offers access to 425 ports over its global route.
Despite early setbacks—such as the first decade-long voyage delay due to technical issues in Belfast—residents continue their world journey, citing adventure, community, and meaningful living at sea as priceless benefits.
Who is This For—and Why It’s Game-Changing
This program is ideally suited for:
- Retirees seeking an enriched lifestyle that replaces static retirement communities with global exploration.
- Wellness-focused travelers desiring consistent services like medical care, fitness, and social activities embedded into their lifestyle.
- Adventurers and cultural enthusiasts eager to explore multiple countries and cities without planning hassles.
Many residents welcome visitors and embrace the strong community onboard—echoing the allure of living with like-minded peers who share wanderlust and comfort.
