Residential cruise ship Odyssey halts voyage in Cambodia, 203 passengers leave

Villa Vie Residences suspended the Odyssey's round-the-world voyage in Cambodia on Tuesday over fuel costs, leaving about 200 residents without their floating homes.

Posted Updated (4 d ago)

Villa Vie Residences suspended operations of its residential cruise ship Odyssey in Cambodia on Tuesday. The U.S. company ordered passengers off the vessel, NBC News reports. Al Jazeera and The Guardian put the number of passengers at 203. The Guardian says 156 crew were also aboard and most passengers were Americans.

The company blames fuel costs. France 24 reports it cited "extraordinary increases" after the U.S.-Israel war with Iran. No other outlet here gives that reason. CBS News reports the company said it ran out of money. CNBC reports it will disembark passengers and crew and restructure its business. The New York Times reports the venture was underfunded and could not absorb rising fuel costs.

The Hill reports the ship is docked at Sihanoukville, on the Gulf of Thailand, with no certain departure date. BBC News reports the company is working with passengers on "temporary living arrangements." The reports do not describe them.

Fox News reports retirees aboard say they were repeatedly asked for more fuel money before the ship halted. No other outlet here reports that. NBC News reports passengers had bought cabins.

The Odyssey left Belfast, Northern Ireland, two years ago, according to The Hill and NPR. It was marketed as a three-year trip to the seven continents combining long-term living at sea with travel, NPR reports.
