On the program, a world tour, but with one major exception: the United States was carefully avoided. The objective? A total escape, far from American political turbulence. And, for this ultimate luxury, you have to pay at least $255,999. This price includes, of course, everything you need for a worry-free getaway: meals, drinks, activities and excursions, enough to clear your head and forget, in the process, why you are fleeing to sea.
“Mid-Term” for a mid-term break
There is also a shorter version of this cruise, called “Mid-Term”, which allows you to escape during half of Trump’s mandate. The price for this briefer getaway? Between $150,000 and $187,000. An offer that seems to appeal to those who want to take a breather without leaving for too long, as reported by BFMTV.

Answer
The Villa Vie Odyssey can take on board around a hundred passengers and the company, specialized in long-term cruises, hopes to ride the political uncertainty of many Americans. In 2016, after Trump’s victory, Google searches for “moving to Canada” exploded.
But, as in any adventure, the unexpected is a part of it. The same company made headlines after keeping its passengers waiting for four months in Belfast, Ireland, aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey. The departure, scheduled for May, was delayed due to repairs and administrative complications. Finally, the ship left port in October.
