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