According to Maariv, the passengers paid up to $440,000 to live on the cruise ship, which is circling the globe. According to N12, 203 passengers were unexpectedly forced to disembark in Cambodia, within hours, following a notice from the operating company. According to Channel 14, the company, Villa Vie Residences, suspended its operations and ordered some 200 passengers to leave the ship.

According to Israel Hayom, the passengers are now waiting in hotels, not knowing if and when they will be able to return to the ship. According to Globes, the operating company ran into financial difficulties following the spike in fuel prices due to the confrontation with Iran. According to Ice, the company attributes the consequences directly to the war with Iran.
