Villa Vie Residents Ordered Off Ship | Terri Guthrie’s Mardi Gras Train Interview

Good morning, everybody! I’m Chillie Falls, and welcome to Travel and Cruise Industry News for Wednesday, October 28, 2026. Our lead today is the story we flagged yesterday: Villa Vie Odyssey has suspended operations in Cambodia, and residents have been ordered off the ship. We now have the company’s public response as well as firsthand accounts of what residents are facing. We also have newly announced Carnival voyages, Royal Caribbean’s latest business results, and a quick roundup. Then John Reitmeier and I sit down with travel writer Terri Guthrie for our full 48-minute conversation about travel and Amtrak’s Mardi Gras journey from New Orleans to Mobile. It was a wonderful interview, and I’m delighted to share it with you. So settle in, grab a cup of coffee, and let’s get started! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
