== Passenger ferries == Can be built in worlds with two sides with easy passage by water, if you have two harbors with one harbor on one side and one on the other. The ship's size may be small-large, depending of number of passengers or distance expected by the trip.

== Terminals == Strongly recommended while building a cruise ship, it can include a check in desk, toilets, playing area, cafe, walkway to the ship, and optionally staircases and/or lifts with more than two levels.

Building materials recommended:

Cobblestone, doors (wooden, iron are optional and may need pressure plate, button and/or a tripwire, to make it open), windows (glass or glass panes), wood fences and stairs and/or slabs.

This building materials is not recommended:

Wood planks, wood logs, wool (wood and wool are flammable and may catch fire), sand or gravel (gravity-affected block), and blocks with low blast resistance.

== Lifeboats == All ships have lifeboats. Depending on the size of the vessel, you may have many or only a few lifeboats. Real-life lifeboats are colored orange, so they could be easily spotted by rescue crews, so you should use orange material to build the lifeboats.

== Things to have onboard == You may have different classes for cabins - ranging from ones with nothing but a bunk bed to suites with balconies and king-size beds. More expensive cabins tend to be placed on upper decks. Shops on ships do not sell the usual stuff - instead they prefer to sell luxury goods. A ship cannot function without an engine. Engine rooms are huge, with tons of complex machinery. Building an engine room may be tricky, as many have never seen one.
