If you’ve ever dreamed of leaving your job behind and setting sail on a cruise ship, then Villa Vie Residences’ innovative ‘Golden Passport’ might be just what you’re looking for.
Imagine not having to worry about preparing dinner, doing the dishes, or making your bed, as the cruise line has devised a way to escape everyday life permanently. After years of hard work, you won’t even need to decide where to spend your retirement years.
Of course, such a lifestyle comes with a cost, so you may need to save up before embarking on this journey. Once you’re ready, the full-time cruise ticket offers a ‘revolutionary way to live, travel, and thrive at sea—forever’.
Endless Horizons is a ‘permanent residence-at-sea program’ that provides an ‘all-inclusive’ experience, covering dining, housekeeping, laundry, internet, entertainment, and wine or beer with meals.
Concerned about health? The ticket includes annual medical check-ups to ensure you stay in great shape while exploring the world.
The Golden Passport offers travelers the chance to choose from the Villa Vie Residences cruise ship fleet for ‘continuous circumnavigations of the globe’, with each journey spanning three to three and a half years.
These voyages cover all seven continents, over 140 countries, more than 400 destinations, and over 100 tropical islands.
“This isn’t a cruise—it’s a way of life,” stated the company in a press release introducing the Golden Passport.
The cost of living at sea is structured around age-bracketed tiers, detailed below:
Though it may seem like a significant investment, having your accommodation, meals, and entertainment covered, all for less than the cost of purchasing a house for your later years, is quite reasonable.
Commenting on the launch, Mike Petterson, Founder of Villa Vie Residences, stated: “As people retire, one of their biggest fears is outliving their money. With the Golden Passport, that uncertainty disappears—one payment secures a lifetime of adventure. Our age-tiered pricing ensures that Endless Horizons is no longer just a dream for the few, but an attainable reality for many.”
Kathy Villalba, the company’s CEO, added: “Life moves quickly, and the regret most people share is that they didn’t travel the world when they had the chance. The Golden Passport makes that dream possible—and affordable—in a way the cruise and travel industries have never seen before.”
There you go – your retirement plans are sorted.
