Cruise Cabin Types
Differences Between Interior, Exterior, and Balcony Rooms and Tips for Making the Right Choice
Cruise holidays offer a luxurious experience surrounded by the sea while providing the comfort of a floating hotel. One of the most important factors that influences your comfort on a cruise ship is the type of cabin you choose. Selecting the right cabin can make your cruise vacation far more comfortable, enjoyable, and even luxurious.
So, what are the main cabin types on cruise ships — interior cabins, exterior cabins, or balcony cabins? And which one is the best fit for your needs?
In this article, we’ll break down the differences between interior and exterior cabins, highlight the benefits of balcony cabins, and share tips to help you make the right choice. We’ll also explain how ACCOMAR, an expert in cruise ship cabin project coordination and master planning, ensures that every cabin is designed and managed to deliver the best guest experience possible.
Interior Cabins: A Comfortable and Economical Option
Interior cabins are located in the middle sections of the ship and do not offer exterior views.
Advantages of Interior Cabins: Being positioned in the center of the ship means less movement, making them a stable and affordable choice.
Best For: Budget-conscious travelers or those who plan to spend most of their time enjoying the ship’s activities rather than in their cabin.
Design Management: Interior cabins require smart design solutions to feel spacious and comfortable. Proper lighting, functional layouts, and space-saving furniture maximize comfort without compromising utility.
Exterior (Sea View) Cabins: For Those Who Love Daylight
Exterior cabins, often called oceanview cabins, feature windows or round portholes that open toward the sea.
Advantages of Exterior Cabins: Natural daylight and a constant view of the ocean create a more open and inviting atmosphere.
Best For: Guests who enjoy natural light and prefer a less confined space, as well as those who want a peaceful environment for relaxation.
Design Management: Proper window positioning and ergonomic furniture are key to optimizing both comfort and the viewing experience. A well-managed design process ensures these cabins provide both functionality and luxury.
Balcony Cabins: Luxury and Freedom
Balcony cabins offer the ultimate luxury cruise experience, blending comfort, privacy, and connection to the sea.
Advantages of Balcony Cabins: Enjoy your own private outdoor space, watch breathtaking sunsets, and step out for fresh air whenever you like. These cabins also feel more spacious, enhancing your sense of comfort.
Best For: Couples looking for a romantic escape or travelers who prioritize relaxation and stunning views.
Design Management: The orientation, size, and layout of the balcony, along with the placement of comfortable furniture, are critical to maximizing the guest experience.
Tips for Choosing the Right Cabin
Budget: Interior cabins are budget-friendly, while balcony cabins are priced higher for their added luxury and space.
Cruise Route: Longer cruises with multiple sea days may make cabins with windows or balconies more enjoyable.
Motion Sensitivity: If you are sensitive to ship movement, interior cabins located mid-ship may be the most comfortable option.
