美国住宅邮轮Odyssey号因燃油成本飙升在柬埔寨暂停环球航行：203名乘客被要求下船
一艘正在进行环球住宅航行的美国邮轮因燃油成本飙升，在柬埔寨暂停运营，船上203名乘客被要求下船、离开他们在海上的家。据美联社10月27日报道，运营方 Villa Vie Residences 表示，每间船舱的月燃油成本已从历史平均约1,800美元升至亚洲部分地区的估计6,000至8,000美元，公司无力继续承担运营亏损，现正考虑重组。
这艘名为 Odyssey 的邮轮两年前启程，执行一项前往七大洲、为期约3年半的环球航行，以「在海上长期居住＋环游世界」的模式销售：乘客可以购买、租赁或先租后买船舱。Villa Vie Residences 总部位于美国佛罗里达州。公司表示，曾尝试放慢航程、在港口停留更长时间以减少燃油消耗，但仍无法抵消成本暴涨；「把全部涨幅转嫁给居民不是现实的解法」，公司称接下来的重点是支持居民、船员与员工，同时尝试重组。据彭博社报道，公司将在接下来60天内探索重组与重新融资方案。
西哈努克自治港上周发表声明称，该船10月23日靠港、原定停靠5天，之后应前往越南，但截至周三仍停留在港内。美联社报道称，船上载有203名乘客，来自15个国家、多数为美国人，另有156名船员；该船可容纳650名居民。乘客已被告知离船，船员的去留尚不明确。
据彭博社对公司创始人 Mikael Petterson 的采访，公司正与居民协调下船并安排临时住宿，公司承担住宿与当地交通费用，但没有提供乘客离开柬埔寨的费用。Odyssey 号已确认的行程原排至2027年11月。公司原计划让第二艘住宅邮轮在2029年初投入服务，但此次停运声明没有提及第二艘船的安排。
U.S. residential cruise ship Odyssey suspends world voyage in Cambodia over fuel costs; 203 passengers told to leave the ship
A U.S. cruise ship on a residential voyage around the world has suspended operations in Cambodia because of soaring fuel costs, forcing its 203 passengers to leave the ship that has been their home. According to the Associated Press on October 27, operator Villa Vie Residences said monthly fuel expenses per cabin, which historically averaged about $1,800, have recently reached an estimated $6,000 to $8,000 in parts of Asia during the war in Iran, and that the company can no longer carry the resulting operating losses while it tries to restructure.
The ship, Odyssey, set sail two years ago on a voyage of about three and a half years to the seven continents, marketed as combining long-term living at sea with global travel; residents rent, own, or rent-to-own their cabins. Florida-based Villa Vie Residences said it had sought to reduce fuel consumption by slowing the itinerary and spending more time in port, but was unable to offset the surge. "Passing the full increase on to residents is not a realistic solution. Our focus now is on supporting residents, crew, and employees," the company said. Bloomberg reported the company will spend the next 60 days exploring restructuring and recapitalization options.
The Sihanoukville Autonomous Port said in a statement last week that the ship docked on October 23 for a five-day visit and was to head to Vietnam, but remained in port on Wednesday. The ship carried 203 passengers of 15 nationalities, mostly Americans, and 156 crew members, against a capacity of 650 residents, the AP reported. Passengers have been told to leave the ship; the status of the crew was unclear.
Founder Mikael Petterson told Bloomberg the company is working with residents to coordinate disembarkation and identify temporary living arrangements, covering lodging and local transportation, but has not provided funding for passengers to depart Cambodia. The Odyssey had a confirmed itinerary into November 2027. The company planned for a second residential cruise ship to enter service in early 2029, but the suspension statement did not address the second ship.
