Cruise Ship Passenger Says Warning Signs Were There Long Before Cambodia

  • On Monday, the residential cruise ship Villa Vie Odyssey suspended operations in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, forcing 203 passengers to disembark by 2pm that day.
  • Monthly fuel expenses per cabin skyrocketed from around $1,800 to $8,000 in Asia due to the war in Iran, forcing Villa Vie Residences to suspend operations.
  • Guests Lanette Canen and Johan Bodin paid $100,000 for a cabin plus $3,500 monthly fees, yet were repeatedly asked for extra funds every two to four weeks.
  • Villa Vie Residences is coordinating disembarkation and temporary living arrangements for residents; crew members have reportedly yet to be paid amid the financial crisis.
  • Displaced passengers plan to travel through Vietnam, Bali in Indonesia, and Thailand while the Odyssey remains docked in Cambodia with no certain departure date.
