“奥德赛号”的运营方已指出摆脱现金危机的拟议法律路径。但破产申请、资金到位的复航计划,以及面向被迫离船居民的全面援助是否落实,仍未得到核实。

破产重整能否让被迫离船的 Villa Vie 居民重返海上家园,并保障他们已支付的款项?该公司首席执行官现已表示,计划通过《破产法》第11章程序摆脱现金危机。这是一项重大进展,但尚不能证明破产案件已提交、救助资金已到位,或乘客何时能够返回“奥德赛号”。2

Mikael Petterson 于2026年10月28日星期三在接受 CBS 新闻电话采访时披露了这一计划。他说,这家居住型邮轮企业在寻找财务合作伙伴期间已经耗尽资金。目前尚未核实破产申请:拟申请破产的债务人何时提交申请、在哪个法院提交、案件编号及其法律身份,均未确定。因此,理解接下来会发生什么,关键在于区分“打算寻求法院保护”和“实际获得法院保护”。2

10月28日,HeyDay News 报道称,Villa Vie Residences 已暂停“奥德赛号”在柬埔寨的运营,要求居民上岸,并宣布为期60天的重组和再资本化计划。新进展是公司明确表示有意申请《破产法》第11章保护,而不是再次宣布暂停运营。公司10月27日的声明称,尚未敲定任何融资或交易,并警告说不能保证会取得任何结果。目前尚未证实此后完成了任何救助协议。9

《破产法》第11章是美国公司用来重组债务的破产程序。指出这条路径本身,并不能证明法院正在监督 Villa Vie,也不能确定居民的合同权利,或提供运营船只所需的资金。

现金短缺不止是燃油问题

Petterson 最新的说法表明,财务压力不仅限于 Villa Vie 最初着重提及的燃油账单,还包括借款和薪资压力,但未说明借款金额、债务条款,也未核实欠薪总额。2

我们借了钱,尽可能把工资支出拖到极限,现在已经到了快要撑不下去的地步,我们需要资本注入。

Mikael Petterson 2

他告诉 CBS,在2月底伊朗战争爆发之前,燃油平均每吨约$700,此后每吨已涨至$2,000–$3,000。他称该船每月耗油700–800吨。此外,他称每月开支从$400,000升至$2 million,形成$1.6 million的缺口。这些都是管理层提供的数据,并非经独立审计的账目;他也未说明月度总开支所包含的具体类别。因此,不能将这些数字视为公司财务状况经过核对后的完整描述。2

Villa Vie 自己的公告采用了另一种衡量方式:按船舱分摊的月度燃油等值费用,过去约为$1,800,近期在亚洲部分地区估计已升至$6,000–$8,000。这是运营成本的分摊,并不能证明居民因此被新收取了这些金额。公司表示,将全部涨幅转嫁给居民并不现实。9

管理层通过放慢行程、延长停港时间来节省燃油。Petterson 称,他们每个港口停留五六天,同时希望中东局势有所好转。他表示,这些措施仍然不够。2

因此,燃油是管理层对暂停运营这一直接原因的解释,并非所有财务弱点都已被证实由此造成。居民 Randy Cassingham 提出了更全面的看法,称问题连锁出现,涉及商业模式、管理失误以及燃油成本和供应情况。他的说法由《卫报》报道,属于居民的判断,而非经过审计的责任分摊结论。45

当地援助不等于遣返

较新的报道厘清了我们此前报道中的两个基本疑点:港口是西哈努克市,包括西哈努克自治港;据报道,船上有203名乘客。这些乘客来自15个国家,大多数是美国人;船上还有156名船员。周三,该船仍停留在西哈努克市,此前原定继续驶往越南。其先前行程安排延续至2027年11月,但该日程已不能说明目前有哪些旅行安排可行。4 5

据 Cruise Parrot 报道,截至周三,已有部分乘客乘飞机离开柬埔寨。目前仍留在该国的人数、各自目的地以及最终离船人数统计均未确定。46

管理层对援助的描述如今更为具体。Petterson 告诉彭博社,Villa Vie 承担住宿和当地交通费用,但没有提供乘客离开柬埔寨所需的资金。按照这一政策,国际旅行费用仍由居民自行承担。19

援助是否实际落实仍有争议。Cruise Parrot 报道了 Cassingham 的相反说法:乘客没有得到帮助。目前尚未确定任何酒店、获得援助的居民人数、援助时长,也没有订房和付款记录。尚不清楚乘客获得的援助是否各不相同,或承诺的帮助是否尚未转化为实际援助。公司此前表示正在寻找临时居住安排,但不能据此认定所有人都已获得安置。46 9

退休乘客 Benjamin Schatz 告诉 CBS,他周三只得到几个小时的时间收拾东西并离开。他描述有人无家可归、身上几乎没有钱,也不知道接下来该怎么办。这是他对后果的讲述,并非对无处居住的居民人数所作的核实统计。2

这也不应抹去此前的时间线。正如我们10月28日报道的那样,Cassingham 称,10月26日星期一早上7点刚过,船上张贴了一则通知,要求居民在下午2点前离船——早于周二对外宣布暂停运营。他和 Schatz 讲述的是不同的通知时间和离船时间;两人的说法都不能证明所有居民都面临同一个最后期限。8

居民购买的权益仍然重要

财务风险敞口也因人而异。CBS 报道称,项目启动初期购买船舱的费用达数十万美元,并附有至少15年的居住保障。相比之下,Carol Larson 将自己的安排描述为可选择在船上居住最多15年。这些说法无法厘清各人已签署协议的具体措辞,也不能证明所有人都享有同等退款权利。2 45

据《卫报》对采访的报道,69岁的 Larson 告诉美联社,她分期支付了$120,000,另加每月维护费。她与72岁的妹妹 Crystal Lavering 已在船上生活18个月。Larson 说,海上生活改善了她的健康状况;尽管她意识到初创企业存在风险,但并不后悔参与其中。她的经历是对困境叙述的重要补充,但她的购买价格并非普遍适用的价目表。45

Villa Vie 尚未明确适用于所有人的退款、补偿、持续收费、船舱权利或物品取回政策。适用的购买或租赁协议及其修订内容仍至关重要。表示有意申请《破产法》第11章程序,并不能解决上述任何问题。46

我们此前报道中提出的另一个财务问题仍未得到解答。前租户 Pamela Reckamp 回忆,9月初曾要求船舱所有者协助筹集$1 million,以便船只驶离越南下龙湾。她的回忆无法证明筹集了多少资金,此后也没有任何金额得到核实。8

下一个可能发生的事件涉及船只,不一定涉及居民。Cruise Parrot 报道称,柬埔寨官员预计该船会加注燃油,并可能于10月31日星期六离港。这仍属暂定安排,尚未确认乘客何时恢复航程,也未确定下一站目的地。同一报道称,船员留在船上维护关键系统;他们的工资、雇佣关系和遣返安排均未得到完整确认。46

船只可以驶离,但居住型邮轮业务未必能因此恢复。对 Villa Vie 的乘客而言,真正重要的检验不只是“奥德赛号”是否驶离西哈努克市,而是公司能否获得融资、明确其法律立场,并提供一条切实可行的返船途径——或者,如果做不到,就清楚说明居民能够追回哪些款项。

播出原貌 20 行
  1. Villa Vie now plans bankruptcy protection after its residential cruise left 203 passengers without their cabins. On October 28, we reported that the company had suspended The Odyssey’s operations in Cambodia and ordered residents ashore.
  2. Some residents sold their homes to buy cabins and expected to live aboard for years. Now they face temporary housing and travel costs. Can the company find enough money to restore their homes at sea and protect what they paid?
  3. The Odyssey carried 203 passengers from 15 nationalities, mostly Americans, and 156 crew members. It remained at Sihanoukville Autonomous Port on Wednesday, when its itinerary had called for sailing onward to Vietnam. Some passengers have already flown out of Cambodia.
  4. The earlier itinerary stretched through November 2027. That future now depends on rescuing the business. Chief executive Mikael Petterson described his Chapter 11 intention in a telephone interview on Wednesday, October 28. Chapter 11 is the U.S. bankruptcy process companies use to reorganize their debts.
  5. Petterson says the business ran out of money while searching for a financial partner. A bankruptcy petition hasn't been confirmed. The company had already announced a 60-day search for fresh financing and warned that success wasn't assured.
  6. Villa Vie said on October 27 that it hadn't finalized financing or a transaction. Petterson’s description of the cash shortage now reaches beyond fuel bills. He says the company borrowed money and pushed its payroll commitments as far as it could while trying to keep operating.
  7. Petterson said, “We’ve borrowed money, we’ve stretched our payrolls as far as we can, and we’re at a point where it’s just at a breaking point where we need capitalization.”
  8. He put monthly expenses at $400,000 before the increase and $2 million afterward. He asked where the company could find the $1.6 million difference. He didn't explain which expenses those totals cover. They're management’s figures, and they don't give residents a complete picture of the company’s finances.
  9. Petterson says fuel averaged about $700 per ton before the Iran war began in late February. Afterward, he says, it cost $2,000 to $3,000 per ton. He put the ship’s monthly consumption at 700 to 800 tons.
  10. Villa Vie also estimates its equivalent monthly fuel expense per cabin rose from about $1,800 to $6,000 to $8,000 in parts of Asia. Those figures describe the company’s allocation of operating costs. The company says passing the full increase to residents wasn't realistic.
  11. Management slowed the itinerary and kept the ship in each port for five or six days to save fuel. Petterson says they hoped conditions in the Middle East would improve. Those savings, he says, couldn't keep pace with the higher costs.
  12. Resident Randy Cassingham sees a broader failure. He describes a cascade involving the business model, management mistakes, and fuel cost and availability. That's his assessment of why the venture struggled. He also challenges management’s account of the help residents are receiving ashore.
  13. Petterson says Villa Vie is covering lodging and local transportation, but isn't funding passengers’ departure from Cambodia. Cassingham disputes that residents are being helped. It isn't clear whether support differs between passengers or whether promised help simply hasn't reached them.
  14. Residents who want to leave must arrange their own international travel under the policy Petterson describes. Retired passenger Benjamin Schatz says he was given only hours on Wednesday to pack and leave. He says some residents are homeless, have very little money, and don't know what they'll do.
  15. Schatz’s account describes his own departure. Cassingham had described an earlier notice, shortly after seven on Monday morning, requiring disembarkation by two that afternoon. That instruction preceded Tuesday’s public suspension announcement. Residents describe different notice and departure times.
  16. The money at risk also differs from cabin to cabin. At launch, purchases could cost several hundred thousand dollars, with a minimum 15-year residency guarantee described. Carol Larson describes her arrangement as an option to live aboard for up to 15 years. Individual agreements determine what each resident bought.
  17. Larson, who's 69, says she paid $120,000 in installments, plus monthly maintenance fees. She lived aboard for 18 months with her sister, Crystal Lavering, who's 72. Larson says living at sea improved her health, and she still doesn't regret participating.
  18. She knew a startup carried risk. Other residents now need answers about refunds, continuing charges and access to their cabins. Villa Vie hasn't explained a policy covering everyone’s contracts. Earlier, resident Pamela Reckamp recalled a request to help raise $1 million to leave Ha Long Bay. How much residents raised remains unclear.
  19. Cambodian officials expect refuelling and a possible departure on Saturday, October 31. That sailing is tentative. Crew are described as remaining aboard to maintain essential systems. A ship movement would still leave the residential voyage dependent on financing and arrangements for passengers.
  20. Villa Vie has named its intended legal route, but hasn't announced a completed financial rescue. Residents still have no confirmed return date. Management describes temporary local support while leaving passengers to pay for travel out of Cambodia.
