If you're one of the many Americans planning a getaway next year, this unique adventure might be exactly what you're looking for.
Residential cruise line Villa Vie Residences announced the Tour La Vie program that offers guests the opportunity to live aboard its ship, the Villa Vie Odyssey, for up to four years.
Villa Vie CEO Mikael Petterson told CNBC Make It that the new program was planned before Election Day. And while it is not a reaction to the result, the offer is timely.
“Although our last Tour La Vie campaign was organized before the election results, we believe we have a perfect product for those who would like to leave the country for any reason,” he said in an email statement.
Earlier this month, CNBC reported that in a survey by Arton Capital, which advises the wealthy on immigration programs, 53% of American millionaires said they are more likely to leave the United States after the election, regardless of who wins
“On board, we may have different political views, but our community is united through our passion for exploring the world in a very real way that goes far beyond politics,” Petterson said.

Villa Vie Odyssey has just entered the second month of a 15-year tour around the world, after a series of delays. The cruise line initially offered residents three options for life aboard the ship: owning a villa, renting a villa and a flexible plan called Endless Horizon.
Amenities on the ship include a fitness center and spa, a business center, three restaurants, 5 bars and lounges, and complimentary alcoholic beverages.
A press release shared with CNBC Make It says that passengers joining Tour La Vie will have the flexibility to meet the ship at any scheduled port over the next four years.
According to an itinerary available on Villa Vie's website, the Odyssey arrived in the Caribbean on November 14 and will remain there until the end of December.
