As a cruise writer with over two decades of experience, I often encounter the question: "What is the best location for a cabin on a cruise ship?" The answer varies depending on individual preferences. For some, a quiet corner may be ideal, while others prioritize views.
Cabins on cruise ships are located throughout the vessel—front, middle, and back. Some ships, like river vessels, have cabins at the rear with public areas at the front. Luxury lines such as Seabourn and Silversea Cruises have cabins at the front and public spaces at the back.
Cruise lines like Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line offer diverse cabin options from small inside rooms to large suites. Choosing a cabin can be overwhelming due to this variety.
