MV Odyssey Pauses Global Voyage in Cambodia Over Fuel Costs

publishers 22articles 23first reported 28 Oct, 03:05 UTCdeveloping since 28 Oct · 5 editions

The U.S. passenger ship MV Odyssey has suspended its global voyage in Cambodia because of rising fuel costs, leaving hundreds of passengers facing uncertainty over their travel and living arrangements.

The vessel remained docked Tuesday at Sihanoukville, a port on Cambodia’s Gulf of Thailand, with no confirmed departure date, according to The Hill. The ship began its planned three-year voyage from Belfast, Northern Ireland, two years ago.

Several passengers had made the ship their home for the duration of the journey. The Boston Globe reported that about 200 passengers lost their homes when the voyage ended in Asia, while BBC and The Hill described passengers as stranded. Bloomberg reported that residents of Villa Vie, the company operating the Odyssey, must leave the vessel.
