Decks
The layers or floors of a cruise ship; the number of decks typically ranges from 9 to 18 for larger ships.
Maximum Speed
The highest speed a cruise ship can travel, often between 22 and 30 knots.
Thrusters
Small propulsion units that provide lateral movement; helping ships to dock without the need for tugboats.
Beam/Width
The widest point of the ship's hull, usually given in meters; the beam typically ranges from 30 to 50 meters for large cruise ships.
Gross Tonnage (GT)
A measure of the overall internal volume of a cruise ship; typically ranges from 5,000 to 225,000 GT for modern cruise ships.
Stabilizers
Fins or a similar apparatus on a ship's hull to reduce roll caused by waves; making the journey smoother for passengers.
Ice Class
A classification that denotes a strengthened hull and additional features for navigating ice-covered waters; ranges from 1A Super to E (1C).
Length Overall (LOA)
The full length of the cruise ship from the furthest point at the bow to the furthest point at the stern; typically ranges from 200 to 360 meters.
Cruise Speed
The average speed a cruise ship travels under normal conditions, usually around 20 to 25 knots.
Azipods
A propulsion system where the propeller is housed in a steerable pod, allowing for increased maneuverability and efficiency; common in modern cruise ships.
Crew Capacity
The maximum number of crew members a cruise ship can support, often ranging from 200 to 2,200 crew members.
Draft
The vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull (keel); typical drafts range from 7 to 10 meters.
Staterooms/Cabins
The number of guest accommodations available onboard; ranges from 250 to 2,700 rooms on large cruise ships.
Passenger Capacity
Refers to the number of passengers a cruise ship can accommodate; typically varies from 500 to 6,000 passengers.
Bow Thrusters
A type of thruster located at the bow of the ship to enhance maneuverability at low speeds or during docking.
