On May 7, 2020, the cruise ship 'World Odyssey' made its way into the port of Caen, docking at the Herouville basin at 11:30 AM after a lengthy wait off Ouistreham. The vessel, which has a crew of 54 predominantly hailing from Ukraine, is currently under confinement due to maritime protocols. After spending a month in the Canary Islands, the ship had initiated contact with Caen port authorities two weeks prior, securing approval for its docking. Fortunately, there were no reports of health issues or structural damage to the ship, which is frequently chartered during the summer months by the University of Colorado (USA) to accommodate its students. The crew will remain on board for several days as they undergo medical evaluations and prepare for their journey home, contingent upon having valid flight tickets. Additionally, some crew members originate from countries outside the Schengen zone, necessitating a detailed transportation plan to facilitate their safe return. A few crew members will remain in Caen to oversee the vessel's security.
