According to a CBS News report on internal documents, an effort to save what was known as the "forever cruise" failed. CBS News reported that the voyage ended abruptly in Cambodia.

CBS News reported that the vessel, the MV Odyssey, was billed as a continuous around-the-world cruise when it launched in October 2024.

The available summary of the report describes internal documents showing that the attempt to keep the cruise running was unsuccessful. It does not describe the documents' authors or their contents, and it does not detail the specific steps taken in the effort.

The summary also does not say whether the operator or other parties responded to CBS News, and it does not explain why the voyage ended. Nothing in it indicates how the documents were obtained or whether they have been made public in full.

The headline of the CBS News report characterizes the effort as failed and the documents as internal. Those characterizations come from the report and are not independently confirmed in this story.

The two details the summary supplies about the vessel's history are its launch in October 2024 and its end in Cambodia. No other dates or locations were available for this story.

No other outlet's reporting on the matter was available, so the account rests on the CBS News report alone. Readers seeking the full reporting, including the details of the documents, would need to consult the original article.
