Rising fuel prices wreck retirees' dream of living on a cruise ship
A rise in fuel prices has ended passengers' plan to spend their retirement living aboard a cruise ship. After 17 months, they were put ashore in Cambodia.
A rise in fuel prices has upended the plans of people who intended to spend their retirement years living on a cruise ship and travelling the world. After 17 months aboard, the passengers were disembarked in Cambodia, a country in Southeast Asia.
According to the source, these people had sold their real estate and cars to make the plan possible. They were prepared to pay thousands of dollars a month for the chance to live permanently on board and wake up each day in a different part of the world.
The increase in fuel costs therefore cut short not only a single voyage but a whole way of life for which the passengers had given up their property.
The information available in the source is limited. It does not name the ship or say how many passengers were affected.
