Luxury 'forever cruise' strands passengers in Cambodia over fuel costs

bbc.co.uk

The Villa Vie Odyssey, the residential cruise that was supposed to sail around the world for years, has suspended its voyage because fuel costs got too high. Passengers who sold their homes to live on board are now sorting out 'temporary living arrangements'. Would you ever sell everything to live on a ship?

I feel bad for them honestly, a lot of these are retirees who planned their whole life around it

selling your house to live on a cruise ship always sounded like a plot of a disaster movie tbh
