Cruise line offering 4-year cruise for Americans wanting to skip Trump’s second term
A cruise line is giving Americans a chance to dodge President Trump’s second term with a unique 4-year cruise. Villa Vie Residences, based in Florida, has rolled out its Tour La Vie program, which lets travelers explore over 140 countries while steering clear of the U.S.
The Tour La Vie experience includes several long-term cruise options including this 4-year cruise, such as a one-year “Escape from Reality” (sounds like the opening lines of Bohemian Rhapsody), or the two-year “Mid-Term Selection,” a three-year “Everywhere but Home,” and the ultimate four-year “Skip Forward” journey.
CEO Mikael Petterson shared with Newsweek that the idea for this campaign came before the election results were in. “No matter who won, there would be a segment of the population unhappy,” he explained. “We don’t lean politically; we just wanted to offer a way for those feeling uneasy to get away.”
Prices start at just under $40,000 per year, with single-occupancy cabins for the entire four years beginning at $256,000, while double-occupancy can go up to $320,000. The package includes meals, drinks, WiFi, and medical visits, along with weekly housekeeping and bi-weekly laundry services, though alcohol is only served at dinner.
Travelers will kick off their 4-year cruise adventure with a month in the Caribbean, followed by a four-month trek through South America that includes two Panama Canal crossings, visits to two World Wonders, the stunning Chilean Fjords, a sail-by of Antarctica, and the vibrant Carnival in Rio.
What do you think? Would this be worth it to avoid 4 years of Trump?
