US cruise ship strands 203 passengers in Cambodia over soaring fuel costs

The American residential cruise ship, Odyssey, abruptly suspended its round-the-world voyage in Cambodia, leaving 203 passengers stranded.
Operations ceased due to overwhelming fuel costs, which dramatically soared from $1,800 to $6,000-$8,000 per cabin monthly, attributed to escalating conflicts in Iran.
Many passengers, who had sold homes and assets for permanent residence on the ship, were left effectively homeless in a foreign country without promised accommodations or return airfare.
Operator Villa Vie Residences announced a 60-day financial restructuring process, unable to confirm if the Odyssey would ever return to service.
