A cruise line has the solution for those that went to leave the United States after the results of the 2024 presidential election.

Villa Vie Residences announced on Thursday that the Villa Vie Odyssey ship now lets passengers set sail for as long as four years.

So, any U.S. passengers who are upset about Donald Trump beating Kamala Harris in the election can embark on the journey that visits 140 countries and return home when a new president is elected in 2028.

The Villa Vie Odyssey’s “Skip Forward” package lasts four years and travels to all seven continents.

Of course, this four-year adventure isn’t for free.

A Villa Vie Residences spokesperson told Business Insider the trip gives passengers “flexibility to escape traffic jams, politics, and the monotony of city life.”

If passengers only want to flee their home country for two years, they can buy the “Mid-Term Selection” package which costs $150,399 for a single-occupancy room and $187,998 for the double.

The two-year voyagers would be gone until 2026, when the US midterm elections are set to take place.

The cruise line also offers a one-year trip called “Escape from Reality,” starting at $79,999, and a three-year trip, called “Everywhere but Home,” starting at $207,999.

The Odyssey first set sail on a three and a half year journey in September after remaining docked in Belfast, Northern Ireland for over 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 the 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 will be hiccups when starting 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’ve learned a lot about ships.”

The couple said they paid $100,000 for their cabin that will remain theirs for the ship’s predicted 15-year lifetime. They also were charged a $3,500 monthly fee to be onboard.

Canen and Bodin eventually set sail on the Odyssey on Sept. 30 and they’ve been documenting their adventure on their YouTube channel.

In their latest video, shared on November 5, they were off the Western coast of Africa traveling from the Canary Islands to Senegal.

The pair also gave viewers a tour of the boat including the fitness center, the medical facility, one of the restaurants, the pool, the tennis court, and the engine room.
