The fuel crisis buried the eternal cruise. We couldn't ignore our colleagues' stories about how high gas prices ended the "eternal cruise" in 2.5 years. We are talking about the liner Villa V Odyssey which was sold as a "permanent home at sea" - passengers paid for the right to live in a cabin, and the operator provided food, living conditions, maintenance and movement of the ship along the route. The last point on the route was Cambodia - two hundred "residents" were asked to disembark while the company tried to attract more funding or find another way to continue working. The reason for the stop was sharply increased fuel costs. According to the company's calculations, the monthly fuel costs for a passenger cabin increased from about 1.8 thousand dollars to 6-8 thousand dollars in some regions of Asia. The company tried to introduce an additional fuel surcharge of 1.5 thousand dollars. per month, but almost all passengers refused to pay for it - eternity and monthly fees somehow do not fit together, and from the point of view of positioning it sounds like a deception of customers, some of whom paid $ 350 thousand for an eternal stay. It is likely that the voyage will not go further - running a business that is so dependent on fuel prices is not very profitable. In the age of expensive hydrocarbons, nothing lasts forever.
