Villa Vie’s CEO, Mikael Petterson tells CNBC Make It the new program was planned before Election Day. And while is is not a reaction to the outcome, the offering is is well-timed.

“Onboard, we may have differing political views, but our community comes together through our passion for exploring the world in a very real way that goes far beyond politics,” Petterson said.
