Villa Vie Captain: Guests Sent Ashore Due to Critical Fuel Situation

Villa Vie Odyssey Captain Emanuele Giudice provided an update on the ship’s status after the ship’s operation was suspended and residents were sent ashore in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.

As reported by Cruise Industry News, CEO Mikael Petterson told CBS that Villa Vie Residences plans to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to fuel costs spiking after the war with Iran began in late February.

Giudice said during an interview with the Cambodia China Times that the ship plans to leave Cambodia on October 31, adding that he was waiting for fuel.

The original departure was scheduled to be on October 28 at 7 PM, but this was delayed because fuel was not received.
