A Stateroom is an area aboard a vessel set aside for crew and passengers.

Description (Specifications)

A Stateroom is a measure of the internal space given over to use by passengers and crew. Most typically it takes the form of a small cabin that includes partition walls, doors, storage space, and furniture. It may include necessary access such as a corridor. A stateroom has a set of environmental controls, usually enabling lighting and temperature to be set to preferred levels. More sophisticated designs may allow the gravity, humidity or air pressure to be controlled. Most staterooms include a compact entertainment system of some kind.

  • Most staterooms can be locked by their occupants. The captain, other senior officers and any stewards assigned to the stateroom have access to master keys.
  • Staterooms may contain an Emergency Locker.
