The residential cruise ship MV Odyssey has left Cambodia after passengers were ordered to disembark, with reports saying the vessel departed Sihanoukville with only crew aboard. Multiple outlets describe the ship as a long-term, residential-style cruise operated by Florida-based Villa Vie Residences, after the company suspended its planned operations in Cambodia.

Context reported across sources links the decision to sharply higher fuel costs, which the company says made the operating model unsustainable. CBS News and ABC News (International) both describe the ship as having been on an around-the-world voyage when it suspended plans, while other coverage adds that the passengers—about 200 or more residents—were told to leave on short notice.

Some outlets focus on the immediate impact on passengers left in Cambodia and uncertainty about next steps, including whether the ship’s final destination was confirmed. Others add broader analysis of the ship’s financial situation and how fuel and occupancy pressures contributed. Despite minor differences in emphasis and detail, outlets broadly agree on the sequence: passenger disembarkation in Cambodia followed by the ship’s departure without passengers.
