Villa Vie's Odyssey was taken by port authorities following a court order obtained by the vessel's creditors, the Financial Times reported, while The Independent wrote that it was not yet clear who was behind the legal action against the vessel. The Guardian reported that Singapore seized the US-operated cruise ship, which offered retirees a 'permanent' life at sea but instead offloaded them in Cambodia after it ran out of money due to soaring fuel prices, more than 200 passengers having been left stranded in the Cambodian port city of Sihanoukville last month.
