A popular cruise line is making waves on social media after announcing a four-year travel program aimed at Americans who want to “escape” their homeland in the event of former President Donald Trump’s re-election. The special package, called “Escape America,” is designed to be not only a journey to explore the world but also a “way of life” for those who want to stay away from political turmoil in the United States.
4-year travel package: What awaits passengers?
This program will take passengers to visit more than 135 countries, with stops in famous cities such as Paris, Tokyo, Cape Town, and Sydney. Each visit will last from a few days to a few weeks, enough for passengers to explore the culture, cuisine, and famous attractions in each place.
The cruise is fully equipped with high-class amenities, from infinity pools, 5-star restaurants, spas, gyms, to co-working spaces with high-speed internet connection. In particular, the apartments on the cruise ship are designed to make passengers feel like they are living in a second home.
Cost and target customers
The cost of participating in the program ranges from $100,000 to $300,000 per year, depending on the room type and accompanying services. The target customers are not only the wealthy but also individuals who are looking for a more stable living environment during times of political conflicts.
A representative of the cruise line said:
“Many people have contacted us after Mr. Trump’s re-election announcement. They want to find a peaceful place to temporarily leave the US in the near future.”
Mixed views from public opinion
This program has quickly caused a wave of heated debate on social media platforms. Some people support the idea, saying it is a great way to escape the political tension in the US, while others criticize it as “an expensive farce.”
Many Americans expressed their opinions on Twitter:
“This is my dream. I can’t stand another term!”
“Instead of running away, we should stay and fight for what we believe in.”
The trend of “political migration” in history
The search for “political migration” is not new. In previous elections, keywords such as “migrate to Canada” or “leave the US” often appeared on Google when a controversial candidate won. However, leaving the country during a presidential term is unprecedented.
Conclusion
In the context of continuing polarization in US politics, this tourism package seems to be not only a business opportunity but also a reflection of the psychology of a segment of the population. Whether it is well received or criticized, this program will definitely be a hot topic of discussion in the coming time.
