Cruise ship suspends three-year global voyage in Cambodia due to fuel costs
The MV Odyssey, a U.S. cruise ship on a planned three-year global voyage, has suspended operations and stranded approximately 200 passengers in Cambodia due to significantly rising fuel costs. Many passengers, including retirees who sold homes to live aboard the ship full-time, must now disembark and cope with disrupted long-term travel plans.

Left-leaning outlets emphasize the human cost of the suspension, highlighting how passengers—many of them retirees—had made life-changing decisions like selling their homes to pursue the voyage, now facing financial hardship and disrupted dreams. They note fuel costs have risen over 300%.
