PHNOM PENH (Bloomberg): The 2,257 passengers and crew aboard a luxury cruise liner that was barred by many ports over coronavirus fears will finally set foot on dry land, ending an ordeal that’s gone on for almost two weeks.

Some passengers have already been issued tickets home by the operator, according to Christina Kerby, one of the guests on the ship.
