Villa Vie Residences Launches Flexible Monthly Rental Plan

Villa Vie Residences has introduced a new monthly rental program aboard its residential ship, the Villa Vie Odyssey, offering travelers a flexible way to experience life at sea.

The Month-to-Month at Sea program starts at $2,999 per person per month and is designed for those who want to try the residential cruise lifestyle without making a long-term financial commitment. As an added benefit, participants earn $500 in rent-to-own credit each month toward the eventual purchase of a permanent villa or Golden Passport.

“You asked, we listened. Month-to-month living at sea is here,” said Kathy Villalba, CEO of Villa Vie Residences. “It’s flexible rentals with a built-in rent-to-own pathway—so we can meet you where you are in life. It’s your time, your terms, your next chapter at sea.”

This new program complements the line’s existing one-week Try Before You Buy and one-year trial options. Now, travelers can choose from a variety of flexible entry points while the ship continues its global journey, sailing a complete circumnavigation every three-and-a-half years.

“This program is about flexibility and accessibility,” added Mikael Petterson, founder and chairman of Villa Vie Residences. “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.”

With options ranging from short-term trials to eventual ownership, Villa Vie Residences is positioning itself as one of the most accessible and innovative residential cruise lines in the market.
