Briefings

A US cruise operator suspended the Odyssey voyage in October 2026, leaving 200 passengers stranded in Cambodia due to unaffordable fuel costs following the US-Israel war with Iran. The company cited extraordinary fuel price increases as the cause for the suspension, which occurred two years after the ship departed.

Key points

• The Odyssey cruise ship was suspended by US-based operator Villa Vie Residences in October 2026, leaving 200 passengers stranded in Cambodia.

Context

The Odyssey was a two-year voyage that departed in 2024, but the company suspended operations in October 2026 due to fuel cost issues. The ship was originally designed for a global route, but the operational halt occurred after the company ran out of money.
