A company is offering a four-year-long cruise for customers looking to escape the upcoming Donald Trump presidency.

Villa Vie Residences, based in Florida, announced the new 'Skip Forward' excursions this past Thursday - hours after Trump's second stint in office was solidified with an electoral win.

Aside from spanning years, the journey will take ticketholders to all seven continents - with an Antarctic sail-by and an eight day trip down the Amazon River.

If four years seems a bit too long, the company also offers one-, two-, and three-year packages - distinguished by names like 'Escape from Reality' and 'Everywhere but Home'.

The two-year option is bitingly billed as the 'Mid-Term Selection' package - a reference to how, by then, the citizens who will be casting ballots for their states' governor, seats in the House, and the Senate. Tickets start at around $40,000 a year, with price fluctuations based on occupancy and length of voyage.

'A perfect Circumnavigation is different for every resident as we pick up new adventurers along the way in every port' said Mikael Petterson, Chief Executive Officer of Villa Vie.

'With over 425 ports across 140 countries, each circumnavigation presents an unprecedented opportunity to discover the world from their floating home with ever-changing backyards,' the company added in an accompanying press release.

Residents setting out on the all-inclusive voyage will also have the ability to start their journey at any port pegged as a stop on the lengthy adventure, organizers stated - adding how the price of your ticket also includes food and drinks.

A fitness center and spa also awaits those willing to partake - though expect to pay a premium for such a journey, whether it be one of four full years.

Capitalism!

[Larry Lucido]

Yep. “Necessito burrito!”

“Probably worth noting all the single women will not be having relations with any of the men on board out of strict adherance to their 4B code.”

They shouldn’t be doing this anyway, seeing as how they’re not married.

[Intro] Tootin’ tootin’ to, tada choo choo wow!
[Men sing] There’s a place called the rainforest; it truly sucks ass.
[Women sing] Let’s knock it all down and get rid of it fast.
[Men sing] You say, “Save the rainforest,” but what do you know?
[All sing] You’ve never been to the rainforest before.
[Chorus] Getting Gay With Kids is here! [Kyle still can’t dance]
To tell you things you might not like to hear. [Kenny and Kelly exchange glances]
You only fight these causes ‘cause caring sells.
All you activists can go #### yourselves!

Male activist
That was so inspiring.
Female activist
What a wonderful message.

[Bridge. Man sings] Someday if we work hard, boys and girls,
Each year, the Rainforest is responsible for over three thousand deaths from accidents, attacks or illnesses.
[Woman sings] There’ll be no more rainforests left in the entire world!
There are over seven hundred things in the Rainforest that cause cancer.
[Man joins her] World!
Join the fight now and help stop the Rainforest before it’s too late.
[Chorus]
Getting Gay With Kids is here!
To spread the word and bring you cheer. Yeah!
Getting Gay With Kids is here!
Let’s knock down the rainforest! What do you say?!
It’s totally gay! It’s totally gay!

[MurrietaMadman]

Yeah, the meerkats await.

[TalBlack]

Forty grand a year? That’s about 800.00 a week. Not bad really…

We took a 29 day cruise to Tahiti and found that was too much time on a cruise ship. Four years - no way.

[Allegra]

Eeewww….I can hear the shrillness and smell the lack of proper hygiene as I read this.

[TheDon]

And a SCOTUS with several new young originalists. Illegal aliens deported and a completed southern border wall. 😁

A 4 year tour....the weather started getting rough!

Once again, I totally disagree with all my fellow freepers on this thread because four-year cruises to avoid Hitler's reign make total sense to me.

What doesn't make any sense to me are the one-, two-, and three-year cruises. How does that work exactly? ... I'm a TDS Democrat who is completely terrified of Hitler but I've decided to go on only a one-year cruise. Then I'll happily return for der Fuhrer's second year in power! That makes sense.

Four-year cruise to all the great ports of call: North Korea, Iran, China. Barbra Streisand, Eminem, Julia Roberts, Cardi B, Bruce Springsteen, Rosie O'Donnell, Beyonce and Alec Baldwin will love it!

I could listen to Cardi B frantically scream random words from her smartphone 24/7/365 ... forever! She seems like a really fun person who totally has her head on straight, just like all DeDe's. Oh, that's my nickname for Deranged Democrats.

Call it the Phillip Nolan Memorial Cruise. Take their passports as they board, and never let them touch land the rest of their lives.

[Allegra]

I hope they don’t bypass the Gulf of Aden. A Somali welcome is an unforgettable experience.

And a pass through the Straits of Hormuz should be included. Maybe a port of call at Bandar Abbas? That could be exotic.

[VastRWCon]

I would sink it on day 2!

When I watched Cardi B give her campaign speech for kommieLa/Tampon Tim, I thought the election was over then and there -- a total landslide victory for kommieLa.

But I guess I got that one wrong. How could I possibly have misjudged the impact of Cardi B's smartphone speech? After all, Cardi B's split-screen interview with Potato46 (hiding in his basement) during his 2020 pResidential alleged "campaign" clearly put Potato46 over the top and into the White House ... with 81 Million votes!

I’m thinking of a Lord of the Flies scenario.

One of our former church male members signed up for a year contract after his wife died. He liked it so much, he sold his home here and has taken 2 cruises and is up for his third.

Recently, one of the widow ladies in our church Bible study group signed up for a one month cruise. She came home about a week early. She will never cruise again.
