This cruise ship was supposed to provide a permanent home at sea. But now it has run aground in Cambodia.

The Odyssey, a cruise ship intended for permanent global travel, has stranded in Cambodia after two years, forcing passengers to disembark. The operator cites soaring fuel costs as the reason for halting operations, but passengers suspect deeper issues. Many residents sold their homes to live on the ship, which was supposed to visit over 400 ports. The financial implications for passengers remain unclear, and some invested in the ship through a founders club. The situation has been compounded by previous delays and management challenges.
