Cruise Company Offers $159,999 Four-year Round-the-world Voyage For Americans To Escape Trump Presidency

A US Cruise company has offered a $159,999 four year world-wide voyage to Americans who want to escape Trump’s presidency

As more Americans seek to leave the country to escape the next Trump presidency, a US-based cruise company is offering a less drastic solution – but at a hefty price.

On November 7, a day after Donald Trump was declared as the 47th president of the US, residential cruise operator Villa Vie Residences announced its four-year “Skip Forward” package that will take passengers around the world on its Villa Vie Odyssey cruise liner.

Passengers will have to fork out $159,999 ($215,300) per person for a double-occupancy room, while single occupancy will cost $255,999.

The voyage, according to The Straits Times, will take passengers to all seven continents, with visits to over 425 ports across 140 countries.

They will be housed in an ocean view cabin and the all-inclusive package comes with meals and complimentary beer and wine during dinner, as well as the use of on-board amenities such as spa and fitness facilities.

Also complimentary are Wi-Fi, medical visits, weekly housekeeping and bi-weekly laundry service.

Villa Vie Residences’ CEO, Mikael Petterson told Fox Business that the package is perfect for Americans seeking to escape.

“Although the campaign was put together before the results of the election, we feel we have a perfect product for those who said they’d leave the country if ‘XYZ’ wins the election,” Petterson said.

“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.”

It will eventually visit all seven continents, 13 Wonders of the World, and over 100 tropical islands.

“Your villa is your bedroom, and the ship is your home; she’ll take you across the globe to endless horizons,” she said in a statement.

The company also offers one- to three-year cruise packages, with prices starting from $49,999 per person.
