A continuous global voyage marketed as an open-ended residential cruise has been suspended, leaving travelers stranded, according to reports from The New York Times and the New York Post. The venture pitched perpetual travel at sea for less than conventional living costs on land, but according to The New York Times, it was hindered by insufficient funding and an inability to manage climbing fuel expenses.
The disruption stranded roughly 200 customers in Cambodia, the New York Post reported, adding that the founder of the operating company, Villa Vie, acknowledged he had become the "villain" following the voyage's failure.
