00:02Imagine buying a home on a cruise ship only to be told two years into your voyage that you got
00:07to get off. That's what's happening to more than 200 people aboard a U.S.-based cruise ship now
00:12docked in Cambodia. The company, Villa V Residences, says it's suspending operations because it can no
00:18longer afford the fuel. And the numbers are pretty staggering. Listen to this. Monthly fuel costs,
00:27which used to average about $1,800 per cabin, have shot up to as much as $8,000 in parts
00:33of Asia.
00:34The ship, called the Odyssey, was two years into a three-year voyage around the world.
00:39Passengers could buy or rent cabins and live on board as the ship traveled from country to country.
00:44Now, all 203 passengers, most of them Americans, have been told to leave. The company says it's
00:50helping them find temporary places to stay while it tries to restructure its finances over the next
00:5560 days. But there's no guarantee the voyage will resume. And for people who made this ship their
01:01home, there's still no clear answer about what happens next.
