A round-the-world cruise ship that sold cabins as permanent homes has been seized in Singapore under a court order. The Villa Vie Odyssey set sail from Belfast in 2024 promising a voyage through 150 countries, but its operator abruptly halted the trip last month, stranding around 200 passengers in Cambodia after soaring fuel costs. Some luxury cabins had been sold for as much as $440,000.
