- A residential cruise line offers a four-year voyage for passengers seeking an extra-long vacation.

If the state of the world — or the latest election results — have got you considering whether you want to leave the United States, Villa Vie Residences wants to throw its hat in the ring as an option for temporary relocation.
The residential cruise line on Thursday announced new "Skip Forward" packages for passengers to set sail aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey for as long as four years. All-inclusive tickets start at $255,999 for single-occupancy rooms. A double-occupancy room starts at $319,998 for the four-year trip, promising visits to 140 countries across all seven continents.
You can also book a two-year "Midterm Selection" package for $150,399 for a single cruiser or $187,998 for two if you'd like to try things out at home again after the results of the 2026 election. One-year and three-year tickets aboard the never-ending cruise are also available.
The ship comes equipped with spa facilities and fitness programs, and tickets include meals — with complimentary beer and wine served during lunch and dinner.
Business Insider previously reported millions of Americans were considering leaving the country if former President Donald Trump won reelection during the 2024 campaign. On early Wednesday morning, his victory was announced, and searches for the phrase "moving to Canada" spiked.
While a trip on the Odyssey doesn't offer citizenship anywhere else in the world, it gives passengers "flexibility to escape traffic jams, politics, and the monotony of city life," a Villa Vie Residences spokesperson told Business Insider.
The Odyssey first set sail in September after being docked in Belfast, Ireland, for four months due to delays. Business Insider previously reported that two passengers who repeatedly complained about the delays were kicked off the ship and had their contracts canceled.
Other passengers aboard the ship have said they are "very impressed" with the vessel despite the setbacks.
