[Fuel prices soar and a global cruise ship in the United States is forced to suspend sailings] On October 28, due to a sharp rise in fuel costs, a global cruise ship in the United States was forced to suspend sailing after sailing to Cambodia. More than 200 passengers were asked to disembark. There is no news on when sailings will resume. The cruise operator issued a statement that day explaining that due to the surge in oil prices, cruise ships are operating at a "discount". The average monthly fuel cost per cabin has increased from the historical average of US$1,800 to the current US$8,000. The company tried to cut costs by slowing down its trips and spending more time in ports, but it was still unsustainable.
