Luxury cruise passengers stranded in Cambodia as operator suspends world voyage over fuel costs
Villa Vie Residences blames an extraordinary rise in fuel costs, with monthly fuel per cabin in parts of Asia reaching as much as $8,000
Around 200 passengers on a luxury round-the-world cruise have been ordered to disembark in Cambodia after the US-based operator Villa Vie Residences suspended the Villa Vie Odyssey's operations, citing an extraordinary rise in fuel costs. The company said it would spend the next 60 days on restructuring and recapitalisation, with no outcome assured.
