Villa Vie Odyssey cruise ship sails out of Cambodia EMPTY after forcing off over 200 passengers who paid for life at sea

Villa Vie Residences shut down operations last week, blaming fuel costs inflated by the Iran war for making the voyage financially unviable. The vessel left Sihanoukville with roughly 50 crew members on board and not a single passenger, leaving approximately 100 former residents stranded in Cambodia.

Couple Lanette Canen and Johan Bodin, both 56, sold a business to fund a $100,000 cabin plus monthly fees — and say they never expected to leave the ship.
