A cruise line has the solution for those headed to leave the United States following the results of the 2024 presidential election.
Villa Vie Residences announced Thursday that the Villa Vie Odyssey ship now allows passengers to sail for up to four years.
So any American passenger who is upset that Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris in the election can embark on the trip that visits 140 countries and return home when a new president is elected in 2028.
Villa Vie Odyssey’s Skip Forward package spans four years and travels to all seven continents.
Of course, this four-year adventure is not free.
Two-bedrooms start at $255,999, while two-bedrooms start at $319,998.
The cruise comes with all-inclusive food and beverage, a fitness center, a spa and more.
A spokesperson for Villa Vie Residences told Business Insider that the ride gives passengers “the flexibility to escape traffic jams, politics and the monotony of city life.”
If passengers want to leave their country for just two years, they can purchase the Mid-Term Selection package which costs $150,399 for a single room and $187,998 for a double.
The two-year travelers would be gone by 2026, when the US midterm elections are held.
The cruise line also offers a one-year trip called “Escape from Reality,” starting at $79,999, and a three-year trip, called “Anywhere But Home,” starting at $207,999.
The Odyssey first set off on a three-and-a-half-year voyage in September after being docked in Belfast, Northern Ireland for more than three months due to mechanical and certification issues, according to Business Insider.
Lanette Canen and Johan Bodin, a couple from Maui, Hawaii, moved in May to travel on Odyssey. But they ended up having to live in the UK for the summer while they waited for the ship to be ready to sail.
“It’s a start-up and we’ve both run businesses — we know there’s going to be hiccups when we start something, so we weren’t that worried,” Bodin told CNN. “It’s been three months, but they’ve been transparent about what the hiccups are. We learned a lot about ships.”
The couple said they paid $100,000 for their cabin, which will remain theirs for the ship’s projected 15-year life. They were also charged a monthly fee of $3,500 to be on board.
Canen and Bodin eventually set sail on the Odyssey in September. 30 and they have documented their adventure on their YouTube channel.
In their latest video, shared on November 5, they were on the west coast of Africa traveling from the Canary Islands to Senegal.
The pair also gave viewers a tour of the boat including the fitness center, medical facility, one of the restaurants, the pool, tennis court and engine room.
