Fuel costs jump from $1,800 to $8,000: Cruise ship residents forced ashore in Cambodia

Cruise ship Villa Vie Odyssey had to disembark its passengers in Cambodia due to soaring fuel expenses. The ship had operated for over two years, accommodating long-term residents on board. As fuel costs increased significantly, the company announced the suspension of operations. Passengers were provided with temporary accommodation while some already departed for their destinations. The ship is expected to refuel before continuing its journey after leaving Cambodia.
