Cleveland Akron, OH, October 28, 2026 —
The U.S. cruise ship MV Odyssey has suspended its planned three-year world voyage, and hundreds of passengers disembarked in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, amid soaring fuel costs.
The suspension was attributed to global conflicts affecting petroleum supplies and prices, with impacts noted particularly in Southeast Asia. No further details were provided about the conflicts, the scale of the fuel-cost increases or how those costs affected the ship’s operations.
The vessel’s voyage was described as a three-year journey, but the date it began and how much of the itinerary had been completed were not specified. The available information also does not identify the ship’s operator, provide an exact passenger count or give a date for the suspension and disembarkation.
Passengers left the ship in Sihanoukville, a city in Cambodia. Details about their onward travel, accommodation or other arrangements were not provided. It is also unclear whether the voyage has been canceled or paused, whether passengers may rejoin the ship, or whether the vessel is expected to resume its itinerary.
The circumstances surrounding the suspension remain limited to the reported connection between rising fuel costs and disruptions to petroleum supplies and prices. No statements from the ship’s operator, passengers or officials were included in the information available, and no further developments were specified.
