Villa Vie Residences Ship

[foodsvcmgr]

Check Cruise Hive for a story about yet another residential cruise concept.

They are using a photoshopped shot of Zaandam or Volendam as their new ship “Sail la Vie”.

Not sure what if anything this means, ex-Veendam was also supposed to be a residential ship but under Victoria Cruises, perhaps this is an ongoing development of that plan rather than a new venture.

And this is additional to Miray Cruises “Lara”, an ex-Aida vessel, that will soon begin 3 year RTW voyages, the field is growing, hope there is adequate demand.

I would have serious concerns about parting with the very large sums of money being asked for. What happens if they don't get enough people who want to buy in? Do you get your money back? Who are you actually paying?

 

If, as seems to be the case, the payments are being made to Villa Vie Residences Corporation, a Florida based company, they've only been operating for just over 1 month. Are they financially sound? If the company goes bust it seems there's no protection for any money that's been paid.

 

The company really needs to address these concerns, none of which receive the slightest attention on their website.

They wouldn't be the first company to advertize grandiose plans, rake in lots of deposits/purchases and then go belly-up leaving purchasers as unsecured creditors who end up getting nothing back.
