Fuel costs end the Odyssey's 'never-ending' cruise, stranding residents in Cambodia
Residents described shock, tears and anger as they were bused into the Cambodian port city of Sihanoukville.
Passengers aboard the MV Odyssey, the residential cruise ship that promised a never-ending voyage, were given seven hours to pack and leave the vessel in Cambodia after its operator said it had run out of money. Florida-based Villa Vie Residences blamed soaring oil prices for pushing monthly fuel costs per cabin in parts of Asia to as much as $8,000, from $1,800.
