Villa Vie Residences launches ‘Golden Passport’

Villa Vie Residences has launched Golden Passport, a ground‑breaking way to live, travel, and thrive at sea, for life. For a one‑off payment starting at £79,999 (approximate, subject to exchange rates), explorers can unlock a lifetime of global discovery, turning retirement or long‑term travel into an extraordinary, limitless journey.

With the Golden Passport, travellers can access lifetime exploration through the Endless Horizons programme, Villa Vie’s permanent residence‑at‑sea offer at an age‑discounted rate. For the first time, the scheme introduces an age‑tiered pricing model, making the dream of living at sea more attainable than ever.

What the Golden Passport Includes

• Lifetime living at sea from £79,999–£249,999 (price bands subject to exchange rates)
• Age‑grouped tiers designed to open the programme to every generation
• Transferable access across the Villa Vie Residences fleet
• Comprehensive all‑inclusive lifestyle: dining, housekeeping, laundry, internet, entertainment, annual medical check‑ups, plus wine or beer with meals
• No hidden fees, port taxes, or service charges
• Golden Passport holders will voyage on continuous circumnavigations of the globe, each lasting 3 to 3.5 years, visiting all seven continents, 140+ countries, 400+ destinations, and over 100 tropical islands. Extended 2–3‑day port stays allow deeper cultural immersion, with itineraries featuring 12 of the world’s 14 Wonders. This isn’t a cruise; it’s a way of life.

“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,” commented Mikael Petterson, Founder of Villa Vie Residences.
