Captain Emanuele Giudice said high fuel prices had severely affected the ship’s travel, forcing the crew to shut down a generator, chiller and non-essential lights. Residents were given more than 24 hours’ notice. The ship had been cruising the world for at least 755 days, offering long-term and permanent residences at sea. Cambodia’s Tourism Minister Huot Hak met with the captain and crew in Sihanoukville to discuss the situation and possible assistance. #villavieodyssey #cruiseship #fuelprices #fuelcrisis #cambodia #sihanoukville #tourism #shipping #worldcruise #reuters
