Villa Vie Residences was one of the cruise ships spawned as a ‘cruise forever’ package. Sell your house on land, buy one of the residences cabins, and sail around the world – forever.

Well, only a few years later, all 200 passengers were forced to depart in Cambodia and were told the party is over. The company running the cruise are citing the ever-rising cost of fuel that went from an average of $1800/passenger to between $6000-8000/passenger. This simply wasn’t viable anymore.

The CEO claims to be trying to find new partners, but it just left port with just the crew and is likely headed to Singapore where it is likely to become property of the receivers as it files bankruptcy.
