US cruise ship halts world voyage over fuel costs, 200 passengers stranded in Cambodia

Around 200 passengers who paid to live on a cruise ship while travelling the world were abruptly left in Cambodia after the company ran out of money. US-based operator Villa Vie Residences announced on Tuesday it was suspending operations of the Odyssey, two years after the ship set off, citing "extraordinary increases" in fuel costs following the US-Israel war with Iran.
