住宅型豪华邮轮“奥德赛号”（MV Odyssey）因燃料价格大幅上涨导致运营模式难以为继，被迫暂停环球航行，致使203名乘客和156名船员滞留于柬埔寨西哈努克港 1。运营商Villa Vie Odyssey在声明中表示：“异常增加的燃料成本使我们的当前运营模式面临不可持续的财务压力。” 1
此次危机源于今年早些时候美国对伊朗开战导致的全球油价上涨，霍尔木兹海峡自2月28日起实质性关闭进一步加剧了困境 1。受此影响，部分亚洲地区的每舱月度燃油成本从1800美元激增至8000美元，本月油价更是超过每桶117美元 1。“奥德赛号”的旅程始于2024年10月，从贝尔法斯特出发 1。此前该船曾因资金问题要求业主筹集100万美元以离开越南下龙湾 1。目前，运营商正协助乘客安排临时住所，并计划在未来60天内评估重组及再融资方案 1。其中一名名为Carol Larson的乘客购买船舱花费达12万美元 1。
The luxury residential cruise ship MV Odyssey has suspended its global voyage, leaving 203 passengers stranded in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. 1 The vessel’s operator, Villa Vie Odyssey, announced that a surge in fuel prices rendered the current business model financially unsustainable, forcing the halt of operations. 1 "Extraordinary increases in fuel costs have placed our current operating model under unsustainable financial pressure," the company stated. 1 Most of the affected passengers are American citizens, and there are 156 crew members on board. 1
This operational crisis traces back to geopolitical shifts earlier this year, specifically the United States' conflict with Iran, which triggered a spike in global oil prices. 1 Consequently, the monthly fuel cost per cabin skyrocketed from $1,800 to $8,000 in certain Asian regions, while crude oil prices exceeded $117 per barrel this month. 1 The situation was exacerbated after the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed on February 28, disrupting traditional shipping routes. 1 Before reaching Cambodia, the ship had already faced logistical hurdles; the operator previously required residents to raise $1 million to exit Ha Long Bay in Vietnam. 1
Villa Vie Odyssey is currently assisting passengers with arranging temporary accommodation while it undergoes a 60-day assessment period to explore restructuring and refinancing options. 1 The voyage originally commenced in October 2024 from Belfast. 1 Among those impacted is Carol Larson, who spent $120,000 to purchase a cabin on the ship. 1
