PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — A US cruise ship that forced all its passengers to disembark in Cambodia after suspending its operations last week has departed the Southeast Asian nation with only crew aboard, Cambodian officials said on Wednesday. The MV Odyssey, owned by Florida-based Villa Vie Residences, had been on an around-the-world cruise when it suspended its planned three-year voyage due to the sharp rise in fuel costs.
The Villa Vie Odyssey has left Cambodia after its around-the-world voyage was suspended, with fuel costs cited as a reason. Xinhua reported the ship’s departure on Nov. 4, while WXII said Cambodian officials reported that only crew were aboard. CBS News said passengers had been made to disembark; reports described the group as around 200 or as hundreds, and did not confirm the ship’s final destination.
