In Cambodia, the Villa Vie Odyssey cruise ship suspended operations on October 27, 2026, due to skyrocketing fuel costs.

Fuel expenses per cabin rose from $1,800 to as much as $8,000, prompting the company to seek restructuring options while assisting passengers with temporary living arrangements.
