Watch: Fuel crisis strands 200 passengers aboard luxury cruise ship Odyssey

Approximately 200 passengers are stranded in Cambodia after the MV Odyssey cruise ship suspended operations due to high fuel costs. The ship, which began its journey in October 2024, allowed residents to live at sea, with some investing significant amounts for cabins. The operator, Villa Vie Residences, cited unsustainable financial pressure from rising fuel expenses, which have surged dramatically in Asia. They are currently arranging temporary accommodations for passengers while seeking solutions for their financial challenges. The ship remains docked in Sihanoukville with no set departure date.
