Hundreds of passengers aboard a U.S. cruise ship found themselves stranded in Cambodia after their trip was cut short due to high fuel prices.
The MV Odyssey was about two years into a three-year global voyage when its owners pulled the plug, citing rising energy costs due to the Iran war.
Its Florida-based operator says it’s working on ‘temporary living arrangements’ for passengers.
Not sure if it matters contextually to include this:
Some paid hundreds-of-thousands of dollars for a suite on the ship, and there was widespread disappointment at the trip’s early termination.
