More than 200 passengers aboard the luxury cruise ship Villa Vie Odyssey have been asked to leave the vessel after rising fuel costs forced its operator to suspend operations in Cambodia. The ship is docked in Sihanoukville, with passengers facing uncertainty over their travel plans. The company is exploring financial restructuring options as operating expenses rise sharply. The disruption comes ahead of the vessel’s planned visit to India, leaving passengers searching for alternative accommodation and arrangements. The ship’s departure date remains uncertain as the operator works to address its financial difficulties. (PC: The Indian Express)
