A luxury cruise ship on a years-long round-the-world voyage that began in Belfast has suspended operations, leaving passengers stranded in Cambodia. The operator of the Villa Vie Odyssey blamed soaring fuel costs since the Iran war, saying monthly fuel per cabin had jumped from $1,800 to as much as $8,000. Around 200 passengers were told to leave the ship in Sihanoukville. Its future remains uncertain.
