People Gave Up Their Homes To Move Into Cruise Ship Cabins Are Now Stuck In Cambodia Due To Fuel Costs [VIDEO]

Some people thought a retirement dream was to sell their homes, take that money to live on a cruise ship for hundreds and thousands of dollars.  Make sense, right?  You get to live the rest of your life on a constant vacation.  That is until life starts life’n for the cruise ship company feeling the cost of gas going up, so they had to stop the boat and put folks out in Cambodia.  Now the residents of the cruise have to figure it out.

On October, 28, 2026, Florida-based company Villa Vie Residency’s Odyssey cruise ship gave 200 passengers less than 24 hours’ notice that they would need to pack their things and leave the ship in the Cambodian port city of Sihanoukville, leaving passengers stranded after their “never-ending” residential cruise ship because of the extraordinary increase in fuel costs.  The ship had initially promised it would bring passengers to 147 countries in three years,

Florida-based Villa Vie Residences said in a news release that it was working to identify “temporary living arrangements” for people aboard The Odyssey, a 642-foot cruise ship that launched from Belfast, Northern Ireland, with Cabins on The Odyssey that were for sale or rent, three years ago and promised passengers “an unparalleled lifestyle of luxury and exploration” as it toured the planet.
