- Two-Year Mid-Term Selection
- Three-Year Everywhere but Home
- Four-Year Skip Forward
Mikael Petterson, the company's CEO, said: "If you're looking for an escape... there is no better place than on a ship, right, where you can wake up every day to a new backyard and get everything you need taken care of.
Mr Petterson said the company's marketing campaign began before the election and would have rolled it out regardless of who won.
"It's not really a political campaign at all... it just happened that Trump won and there are more Democrats that are unhappy living in the US now than Republicans," he said.
The voyage is aboard The Villa Vie Odyssey, which has a capacity of 600 people and is already sailing.
The ship was recently stranded in Belfast for four months because it needed repairs.
