Residential cruise line Villa Vie Residences has unveiled “Month-to-Month at Sea” with a Rent-to-Own benefit, a flexible way to live aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey starting at $2,999 per person, per month. Introduced by popular demand, the program lets travelers “try the lifestyle” without a long commitment—while earning credit toward future ownership.
With inside villas from $2,999 and oceanview villas from $3,499 per person, the new monthly rental opens the door to life at sea for travelers who’ve been waiting for a shorter, simpler entry point.
For many, the “Try Before You Buy” one-week trial was too short, and the one-year program was too long. “Month-to-Month” is just right—commit by the month, keep your life on land and build credit toward future ownership.
“This program is about flexibility and accessibility,” added Mikael Petterson, founder and chairman. “Guests can experience the lifestyle without a long commitment, and we reward them with a clear pathway to ownership. It’s the best of both worlds.”
How It Works
- Flexible Monthly Living – Rent your villa one month at a time; no long-term contract required.
- Affordable Entry – Inside villas from $2,999/month, oceanview villas from $3,499/month (per person).
- Rent-to-Own Benefit – $500 of your monthly rent is credited toward the future purchase of a permanent villa or Golden Passport.
Golden Passport with exclusive age-advantage pricing is ideal for those looking for lifetime residency. The new Month-to-Month (with Rent-to-Own) program is perfect for digital nomads and semi-retired travelers who choose to split time between land and sea.
Live Aboard, See the World—All Included
Residents enjoy an all-inclusive lifestyle and amenities—including dining, entertainment, housekeeping, medical services, fitness facilities and high-speed internet—all while sailing a continual world route spanning seven continents, 140+ countries and 425+ ports on each 3.5-year circumnavigation.
Whether you’re testing the waters by the month or ready to make the sea your forever home, Villa Vie now offers a program for every timeline and traveler.
