We&#8217;ve tried to do everything we can do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Villa Vie Residences said the per cabin fuel costs rose from an average of $1,800 per month before the war to between $6,000 and $8,000. <\/p>\n<p>The company was unwilling to pass those rising costs on to its passengers, Petterson said. <\/p>\n<div class=\"embed__float-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\" data-ads=\"{\" extrawordcount=\"\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/10\/29\/843ce3d8-ef58-4304-a1a0-11e05f15fb50\/thumbnail\/620x465\/9ba264cab746926affd795410ce526b9\/gettyimages-2301851494.jpg#\" alt=\"MV Odyssey \" height=\"465\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/10\/29\/843ce3d8-ef58-4304-a1a0-11e05f15fb50\/thumbnail\/620x465\/9ba264cab746926affd795410ce526b9\/gettyimages-2301851494.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/10\/29\/843ce3d8-ef58-4304-a1a0-11e05f15fb50\/thumbnail\/1240x930\/6b3cfe8fa53df41219eea8f7bf4f0f94\/gettyimages-2301851494.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">An aerial view shows the MV Odyssey docked at Sihanoukville port in Preah Sihanouk province on Oct. 28, 2026, in Cambodia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Suy Se \/AFP via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Odyssey launched in October 2024 for a continuous around-the-world journey. At the time, passengers could become residents of the ship by purchasing a permanent cabin for several hundred thousand dollars. Some sold their homes to do so. At the time, they were given a 15-year minimum guarantee of residency aboard the Odyssey.<\/p>\n<p>The Odyssey attempted to counter the spiking fuel prices by slowing down its itinerary and spending five or six days in each port &#8220;hoping that things would come to a close in the Middle East,&#8221; Petterson said, but it wasn&#8217;t enough.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For us, when our monthly expenses go up from $400,000 to $2 million, where are we going to get the $1.6 million?&#8221; Petterson asked. <\/p>\n<p>The Villa Vie Residences CEO said that the ship ran out of money as it searched for a financial partner, and the plan is now to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve borrowed money, we&#8217;ve stretched our payrolls as far as we can, and we&#8217;re at a point where it&#8217;s just at a breaking point where we need capitalization,&#8221; Petterson said. <\/p>\n<p>Passenger Benjamin Schatz thought the MV Odyssey would be his forever home. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Honestly, right now, I&#8217;m in denial and in shock, and I&#8217;m heartbroken,&#8221; Schatz, a retiree, told CBS News. <\/p>\n<p>CBS News met Schatz in April 2025 for a story featuring Villa Vie Residences. At that point, he had been living on the ship for about one year. On Wednesday, he was given just hours to pack up his life and leave. <\/p>\n<p>Said Schatz: &#8220;There are people now who are homeless and who have very little money and don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re going to do.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
