The cruise line separates the different categories (Inside, Oceanview, Balcony) into subcategories. The only difference in the subcategories is usually location on the ship. The detail above shows subcategory color, category name, and subcategory name. For detailed information, mouse over a cabin on the deck plans and a pop up window will appear. You will find diagrams, pictures and information about that cabin category including square footage and features. Celebrity typically uses a letter and a number to designate the type of cabin. For example inside cabins start with the letter I, followed by a number. The lower the number the more desired the cabin location. The only exception to this are the single cabins which use the code IS. Ocean view cabins follow the same pattern and start with the letter O. Verandah cabins follow the same pattern and start with the letter V. Higher end verandah cabins end with the letter V. This includes Deluxe Verandah which uses the DV code and Sunset Verandahs which uses the SV code. Family size verandah staterooms use HS as the code. Concierge cabins begin with the letter C. The only exception to this is Sunset Concierge Cabins which use the letter SC. Aqua Class staterooms begin with the letter A.

Do Cruise Ships Have Enough Lifeboats for Everyone?

If you are thinking of going on a cruise, one of your safety concerns might be what happens in the event of an emergency and whether there are enough lifeboats for all passengers to disembark safely.

You might even have seen the Titanic when many people died because there weren’t enough lifeboats and wondered if things have changed for the much bigger cruise ships of today.

Cruise ships have enough lifeboat capacity for 75% of the maximum capacity of people on board, crew, and passengers.   Liferafts are provided for the remaining 25%, although often not required as a cruise ship is never even near it’s maximum capacity.

Are there enough lifeboats for everyone?

Modern cruise ships are bigger than ever, especially mega cruise ships such as Wonder of the Seas or Symphony of the Seas, as examples of some of the largest.

Nowadays, many cruise ships can carry 5000 to 6000 passengers on board and an additional 1000 or more crew members.

It’s not surprising you may wonder if there are enough lifeboats on board to save everyone.

Although it’s unlikely a cruise ship sinking or even capsizing, there are rare occasions when lifeboats may be needed.

At the very least, in times of rough seas and large waves pounding the ship, it can be comforting to know there’s enough lifeboat capacity for everyone.

What is The Requirement for Lifeboats on a Cruise Ship?

The  International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea ( SOLAS ) stipulates that a ship must have enough lifeboats to accommodate 75% of the people on board.   

SOLAS was started after the events of the sinking of the Titanic when there weren’t enough lifeboats for everyone.

Regulations require each side of cruise ships have enough lifeboats to accommodate 37.5% of the total number of persons on board (passengers and crew), 75% in total. Inflatable or rigid liferafts must accommodate the remaining 25% of passengers and crew. (SOLAS, Section II, Regulation 21, 1.1) Travellersunited.org ( Source )

This means that for a ship with 3000 passengers and crew, at least 2250 must be able to fit in the available lifeboats. For a cruise ship carrying 6000 passengers and crew, at least 4500 must be able to fit into the available lifeboats.

In practice, most cruise ships have more than the minimum number of lifeboats required. For example, Royal Caribbean’s Wonder has passenger and crew capacities of 6,988 passengers and 2,300 crew for a total of 9288.

This is slightly more than the 75% requirement set by the IMO, and that’s assuming absolute maximum passenger numbers. 

Often the ship will have far fewer passengers than the absolute maximum, but it still leaves a few hundred people potentially without space on the lifeboats.

This is where liferafts come into play to make up over and above the 25% extra required.

Although it’s worth highlighting that a cruise ship is rarely anywhere near absolute capacity, many staterooms can sleep up to 4 people if you include the extra bed space but often only hold 2 people.

cruise ship lifeboat

How Many Lifeboats Are Needed on a Cruise Ship?

Ideally, a cruise ship needs a higher lifeboat capacity than the total number of passengers and crew on the ship.

However, as we have seen, the IMO only requires a cruise ship to have enough lifeboats to accommodate 75% of its total capacity.

For every 1000 people on the ship, a cruise ship would need 75%  of that number in lifeboat capacity, or 750 people.  

If the lifeboats hold a maximum of 150 passengers , then the following number of lifeboats would be required:

  • 1000 ship capacity = 750 lifeboat capacity = 5 lifeboats
  • 2000 ship capacity  = 1500 lifeboat capacity = 10 lifeboats
  • 3000 ship capacity 2250 = lifeboat capacity = 15 lifeboats
  • 4000 ship capacity 3000 = lifeboat capacity = 20 lifeboats

For larger ships such as some of the Royal Caribbean fleet who have the larger 370 capacity lifeboats you would need the following:

  • 6000 ship capacity = 4500 lifeboat capacity = 12 lifeboats
  • 7000 ship capacity = 5250 lifeboat capacity = 14 lifeboats

The largest lifeboats, like those which were unfortunately destroyed on Costa Smeralda when it collided with a crane , can hold up to 440 passengers.

Some passengers may need assistance getting into the lifeboats, and crew members will need to stay behind to help with the evacuation process, including the cruise ship captain, who should be the last person to leave the ship and one of the reasons for the high cruise ship captains annual salary.

Additionally, some lifeboats may be damaged or lost during an incident at sea so it’s always important to have more safety boat capacity than required.

If there are not enough lifeboats for everyone on board, then inflatable or rigid liferafts must accommodate the remaining 25% of passengers and crew.

Liferafts must be located on the ship’s exterior, easily accessible, and clearly marked.

They must also be capable of being launched quickly and easily, even in bad weather conditions.

When needed, the liferafts are released from their compartments and connected to shutes are lowered into the sea where they are released and begin inflating.  

Passengers and crew members then have to defend down via the shutes and make their way to a seating position on the liferaft.

Liferafts come in different sizes holding from 25 to 200 people.  The larger ones hold as many as a standard-size lifeboat.

One of the largest is Viking Life Saving Equipment which holds up to 200. 

The 3D video below demonstrates how they would be used in an emergency.

Are There Enough Lifeboats for Everyone in the Event of an Emergency

It’s all well and good having enough lifeboats when setting sail on your cruise vacation, but what about in the event of an emergency?

For example, if the ship is is on fire or is it listing to one side so much, the lifeboats can’t be launched.

There is a SOLAS requirement that lifeboats must be able to be launched if listed as much as 20º.   It would be rare for a ship to list more than that, but it has been known in the case of Costa Concordia.

How Many Lifeboats On Carnival Cruise Ships?

All lifeboats can be seen on each side of the Carnival ships. 

Depending on which ship you are cruising on, you could simply look for a photo and count them. 

Although you can rest assured:

We also ensure that the number of lifejackets, lifeboats, and life rafts on each Carnival ship exceeds the number required, based on the ship’s maximum capacity for passengers and crew. Carnival Safety and Security ( source )

cruise ship lifeboat at sea

How Many People Can Fit In a Cruise Ship Lifeboat?

For many years, the maximum capacity of a cruise ship lifeboat was typically 150 people.  This will be the case for many cruise ship lifeboats today. However, many of the worlds largest cruise ships now hold lifeboats with a capacity of 370 to 440 people.

1.1.2.1 No lifeboat shall be approved to accommodate more than 150 persons. (LSA 4.4.2.1) rules.dvv.com Source

However, more recently, with ever-increasing cruise ship sizes and required lifeboat capacity, cruise lines such as Royal Caribbeans obtained a waiver to have larger lifeboats like those of Wonder of the Seas, which has 18 lifeboats 9 on each side.

This might not seem like enough for a cruise ship that can hold over 6000 passengers and crew.

However, each lifeboat has a capacity of not 150 but 370 people for a total of 6660.  These mega-lifeboats, as they are known, are found on many of the Royal Caribbean largest cruise ships, including the first to have them, Oasis of the Seas.

These significantly larger lifeboats not only carry more people but also take up significantly less length when all together on the ship’s side and keep them on one deck.

Although it’s still below the passenger (6988) and crew (2300)  maximum capacity of 9288.  Hence why, rafts are needed.

Here’s an interesting time-lapse video of a 150-capacity lifeboat being loaded and released with 150 people (crew members) as part of a periodic capacity test.

Where Are The Lifeboats On a Cruise Ship?

The lifeboats on a cruise ship are typically located on the outside decks , often on both sides of the ship.

They are easy to spot and are usually brightly colored orange and yellow.

The lifeboats might be partially or completely hidden behind panels or glass on some ships.

How Big Are the  Lifeboats On Cruise Ships?

The largest lifeboat, the Palfinger  MPC 49 is 15.25m by 5.5m  and holds 440 persons.

The Royal Caribbean CRW55 mega lifeboats are  16.7m by 5.6m and hold 370 persons.

The more common 150-capacity lifeboats are usually 8.1m to 9.6m in length.

Different types of Lifeboats on a Cruise Ship? 

There are 3 types of lifeboats to be found on cruise ships.

  • Open lifeboats
  • Closed lifeboats
  • Freefall lifeboats

However, the most common type of lifeboat you’ll find on a large ocean cruise ship is the closed lifeboat.

These are designed to protect passengers from the rough seas and weather.

How Are Lifeboats Launched from a Cruise Ship

This passenger was lucky enough to get a great view of a lifeboat being launched into the sea from the Viking Ocean cruise ship.

The lifeboat is extended outwards from the ship and lowered down.

In this instance, the lifeboat was being used as a tender boat.

Tender Boats

Lifeboats aren’t just used in emergencies, they sometimes double up as tender boats to take passengers to shore from the cruise ship when in port.

What’s On a Lifeboat?

Lifeboats carry the essentials, including:

  • Water and food rations for each person to last a week
  • First Aid Kits
  • Seasickness Pills
  • Searchlights
  • Signaling Devices

Do Cruise Ships Have LifeBoat Drills?

All cruise ship passengers must participate in a lifeboat drill before the cruise sets sail.

During this mandatory safety drill, you will be shown to your assigned lifeboat station, often called a muster station.

You won’t necessarily get into the lifeboat,  but you will learn how to put on a lifejacket and be familiarized with the drill.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all cruise ships have lifeboats.

Yes.  All cruise ships have lifeboats.  They are required by law to have enough lifeboats for at least 75% of all passengers and crew on board. Liferafts are provided to make up for the rest.

Why do Ships Not have Enough Lifeboats?

Lifeboats take up space and add weight to cruise ships. 

Inflatable liferafts make up the difference needed to get all passengers and crew off the ship in an emergency.   These are much lighter and take up a lot less space.

The more space a cruise ship can free up the more money it can make by providing more cabins, entertainment or other sources of extra revenue on the ship.

Are there Toilets on Lifeboats?

Generally, lifeboats do not have toilets.  They are designed to be as efficient as possible when it comes to saving lives, and the toilet space could take up the space for 1 or more passengers.

Saying that the larger Royal Caribbean 370 capacity lifeboats do have a water closet.

What Kind of Lifeboats do Cruise Ships Have?

Modern-day cruise ships often have fully enclosed lifeboats made from fiberglass that protect against the elements.

Some lifeboats are even equipped with air conditioning and heat to keep passengers comfortable during their time on board.

How Many Lifeboats on Mega Cruise Ships?

There will be enough lifeboats for 75% of the mega cruise ships’ maximum capacity for crew and passengers.  For mega-cruise ships like Royal Caribbeans Wonder of Seas and Symphony of the Seas, the lifeboats are more than twice the size of the standard cruise ship lifeboats, with a capacity of 370 compared to 150, so not as many are needed. 

All cruise ships must have enough lifeboat capacity for at least 75% of the maximum capacity for total people on board, including crew and passengers.

Often cruises ships are nowhere near full capacity even if every cabin is booked.

Liferafts cover the remaining 25% of maximum capacity.

If you are anywhere concerned, you can take comfort from the fact that of the hundred cruise ships sailing oceans and rivers every day, lifeboats are very rarely required.

Are There Enough Lifeboats On Cruise Ships To Save Every Last Passenger?

By: Author David Chapman

Posted on Last updated: October 14, 2023

Categories Health & Safety , LEARN

The Titanic disaster was more than 100 years ago, and it remains a vivid, cautionary tale. Have we truly learned from the mistakes of the past? Today, are there enough lifeboats on cruise ships sufficient to save every single person on the ship? With the combined numbers of passengers and crew, the capacity of today’s modern cruise ships are often three or four times greater than that of the Titanic.

Contemporary lifeboats are required by law to have a sufficient number of lifeboats onboard to ensure a seat on a lifeboat for every soul on board the ship. Most ships have extra lifeboats that exceed the ship’s passenger capacity to accommodate for lifeboat malfunctions, etc.

While ships are designed and regulated so that everybody is guaranteed a spot on a lifeboat should the need arise, there is no guarantee that this will always be achieved. However, the likelihood of the ship sinking is extremely low, with a far higher risk associated with everyday tasks like driving to work. The last major cruise ship disaster involving lifeboats was the Costa Concordia wreck in 2012 .

Are There Enough Lifeboats On Cruise Ships?

The number of lifeboats on cruise ships is highly regulated by SOLAS, an acronym referring to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea . Each ship must have lifeboats situated along each side of the ship, with a minimum of 37.5% of the ship’s passenger capacity accommodated on each side. 

Ships will exceed this number in most cases, usually accommodating around 150% of the total number of souls on board. And all of that extra space does not sit idle. Typically, a cruise ship will use its own lifeboats as tender boats when it needs to tender passengers to shore. (If you’re not sure what a “tender” is, check out our tips for first-time cruisers .)

Why We Care About Lifeboats On Cruise Ships

The first thing that comes to mind when mentioning lifeboats on a cruise ship is the Titanic . This is because it is a well-known fact that the Titanic simply did not have enough lifeboats to accommodate all of the passengers on board.

This was mostly due to outdated regulations and the fact that it was never anticipated that every soul on board would need to leave the ship simultaneously. 

Despite not having a sufficient number of lifeboats, some were broken before they could be used, and several of them left the vicinity of the sinking ship with only half the number of passengers they could have potentially carried.

The case of the Titanic has served as the ultimate precedent in ensuring that everybody on the ship has a spot on a lifeboat should the need arise to abandon the ship. And, notwithstanding what happened with the Costa Concordia, one of the essential functions of a cruise ship captain’s job is to supervise the overall safety of the ship.

If the ship runs into trouble of any sort, and the entire contingent of individuals on board need to leave the ship immediately, there must be a series of accessible lifeboats with a combined capacity for every person on the ship. 

This is the only way to ensure the survival of everybody on board should the ship sink or catch fire.

celebrity cruises lifeboats

What Is The Design Of A Lifeboat

Lifeboats are usually one of three designs, but the most popular is the fully enclosed option which provides protection for passengers whatever the weather conditions. Traditionally, the primary focus of a lifeboat was survival, and so the design was based solely with survival in mind.

However, these days a cruise ship’s lifeboats can be multipurpose — used to ferry passengers to the port as necessary. And, as cruise ships have grown bigger and bolder, this has carried over to the lifeboats in some instances.

For instance, Celebrity Edge had lifeboats that are downright luxurious. The Edge Launches have air conditioning, plush bucket seats, and picture window views. As Celebrity has said, the “Edge Launches are desinged to get you to your destination in luxurious style.”

Lifeboats are built out of non-combustible materials to ensure that they are flame-retardant. They are built to be completely stable even when filled to capacity, and they are able to be deployed while the ship is moving at a maximum speed of 5 knots. 

celebrity cruises lifeboats

How Many People Can Fit In a Lifeboat

The usual maximum capacity for lifeboats is around 150 people. This is a number that has been used for a number of years. New megaships have adopted the use of larger lifeboats that can accommodate 370 people, which means that fewer lifeboats are needed in order to meet the required capacity.

Lifeboats Today – Do They Have Enough Room For Everyone On Board

Contemporary lifeboats are carefully designed to accommodate a specific number of passengers, with a designated seat for every individual on board. No lifeboat will exceed its capacity, ensuring that there is sufficient space for everybody on board.

How Big Are Lifeboats On Cruise Ships

All lifeboats on cruise ships are usually around 7.3 meters or longer, with all seats able to support a 100 kg person (220lbs). Most lifeboats have the capacity for 150 people.

How Do Lifeboats Work On Cruise Ships

The majority of lifeboats are lowered from the boat deck on the ship (once the passengers are on board) by cradle arms that swing out and lower the boats onto the water using cables. This system is designed to lower the boat onto the water as quickly as possible to ensure that it is able to get passengers away from the ship.

Where Are The Lifeboats On a Cruise Ship?

Lifeboats are located along the sides of the ship on the deck that is the most easily accessible to the majority of the passengers and crew. This deck is usually named the boat deck, ensuring that passengers and crew know exactly where to go in the event of an emergency.

celebrity cruises lifeboats

Inside Lifeboats On Cruise Ships

Lifeboats are designed with one thing in mind – survival. The design focuses on fitting in as many people as possible to ensure their survival. The center of a lifeboat is most often oval in shape, with the center area blocked out for structural elements.

There are seats around the external perimeter of the boat, with padding for the basic comfort of the passengers. Equipment is usually stored in compartments underneath the seats. The equipment includes everything needed to survive at sea while awaiting further assistance, including water, food rations, and numerous other items.

In the front center of the boat, above the diesel engine, there is the command console from where the boat’s pilot will ensure that everybody reaches safety.

With contemporary regulations as well as strict training protocols enforced for all staff onboard a ship, you can pretty much be assured that you will have a place on a lifeboat if the ship you’re traveling on is ever in need of evacuation while you’re on board.

Regulations ensure that there are enough lifeboats to accommodate all passengers and crew onboard the ship, and an extra 50% of the ship’s passenger capacity is usually catered for in order to accommodate for any failures of lifeboats. 

This includes the off chance that some lifeboats may not be deployable due to the boat listing too far to one side or for any other unforeseeable circumstances.

How do the life boats on deck 7 effect the view on the port side balconies looking at cabin 8051, 8053, 8049, 8055.

The life boats are on deck 5, not 7. The first photo was taken from Constellation stateroom 8056 during our Panama Canal crossing. The lifeboats aren't that much of a distraction.

The second photo shows the position of the lifeboats. Deck 8 is deck under the supports poles for the deck 9 overhang. If you look closely, you will see a couple standing at the railing on just to the left of the window washing mechanism. They are in room 8060, which is the same location as 8059, but on the other side of the ship.

Great, thanks for the info. I was told the life boats were on deck 7....those pesky online ta's they don't know what they are talking about :p If you need to be in the know ya gotta come here ;)

I was on Deck 6 and the lifeboat was just below my balcony. Very annoying. If I had known, I would have booked a cabin on Deck 8!
I'll be on the Summit in August in cabin 6121. Do the lifeboats impact the view from that cabin? Thanks all!

gimletgal

In looking at the deck plan....you will not be over a lifeboat.
Not sure. The lifeboats were all along the side but underneath my cabin the lifeboat was a double height one, so it was literally right below the balcony. Our cabin was 6079. There appeared to be two double height lifeboats right next to each other, so our cabin and maybe one or two there were impacted. I would imagine that the regular height lifeboats would not be so obstructive. They didn't really block the view so much as being an eyesore.
It really helps to look at deck plans prior to reserving a cabin! They really do provide lots of information. :)

Actually, from looking at the photo above, it seems that several cabins are impacted - more like 9 or 10. You can see in the photo. Ours was just about in the middle, right over where one of the double tall lifeboats ended and the other started. Not sure if the cabin number you mentioned would be affected, but perhaps a look at the deck plan to see how far from 6079 would help determine this.

Yes I realize that now! Actually had read a cabin review here on Cruise Critic which complained about this very issue with this very cabin but at that point it was too late to change! We needed a cabin that slept 4 close to my mom's handicapped cabin and by the time I had done my research and realized, there were no comparable alternatives!

Thank you! :)

I did check and have checked the deck plans, but where do the lifeboats show up? It doesn't seem clear to me. I checked to see what was above and below the cabin.

Stateroom 6121 is circled in yellow:

SILHOUETTE Obstructed view cabins

By DancingDuo , November 12, 2011 in Celebrity Cruises

Recommended Posts

Cool Cruiser

Anyone have pictures or info on the obstructed views from these cabins on Deck 6?

Like to have daylight in cabin and do not need complete views, but would prefer to know how bad or good it really is before we book. Cabins we usually book are sold out and this is the next available choice for us.

Deck 6 has two types of obstructed view verandas... 2C and 2D. The obstruction is due to the lifeboats, which are on Deck 5.

For the 2D cabins, the top of the lifeboat comes up to the top of the veranda railing. For 2C, the top of the lifeboat comes up to the bottom of the veranda.

With either category, you can look out straight, but your view down is obstructed.

We have sailed in 2C and found it to be a good value. When you're in the cabin, you can look out straight and not really be bothered by the top of the lifeboat. To us, the 2D is not lower enough in price to compensate for a view of the orange lifeboat while in the cabin.

I have some pictures of the view from a 2C but don't know how to post them to show you.

dolittle

We just did the T.A. in 6253 .You are above the life boats but there is a white posts that dont block the view. We saved 200 dollars it was well worth .By the way the rooms are huge.

Were you in a handicap cabin.

emo

here are some photos of our cabin on the Solstice, which should be extremely similar to the corresponding cabin on Silhouette. This is a category 2D, or "fully obstructed". As you can see, the lifeboat is in the way, but there is still a great view. This room also had a nearly triple sized balcony. I also have some photos of a deck 6 cat. 2C on the Equinox which i can post if needed :)

Hi, We will be on Deck 6 ......2c cabin on the silhouette. Would appreciate it if you could post the photos you have.

Thanks, Shelly

Shelly... here are a few different angles of our deck 6 2C balcony. The lifeboats are about floor level, So when you're standing up at the railing, you still have a clear view out to the horizon.

Straight out at rail height:

Looking forward over rail:

This is the Solstice starboard side. Balcony cabins over the tenders, marked 6180 to 6210, are Cat. 2D obstructed and the ones to the right of 6180, over the lifeboat, are Cat. 2C balconies.

On the Silhouhette you get obstructed BALCONIES.Ours had the davit posts sticking up obstructing the view , although it is not mentioned in the brochure.

Thanks for the info and the photos. I have a better idea of what the deck 6 2C on the Silhouette will be like.

jimzgoldfinch

What was your cabin number?

TWO4THESEA

Great pics.... thanks.. we're booked Jan 23 Ultimate Caribbean 11 nite. We've got Cabin 6284 deck 6. Has anyone been in this one?
Our cabin was 6146, listed as a 2B, but it has a davit obstructing the view. If two people are sitting on the balcony, one of them will be looking straight at the davit. Really think it should be listed as a 2C or 2D.

The view for Cabin 6284 is over the end of the last lifeboat as indicated by the arrow in the shot below. Ignore the washer platform behind the davit since it is normally stored at the stern.

attachment.php?attachmentid=212880&d=1321743690

I just booked a cruise on Silhouette and 6146 is now listed as the most forward of the 2C balconies. In fact that rear portion of the front jump section with the lifeboat is now all classed as 2C balconies except for 6154 and 6153 which are classed as even lower 2D.

Thanks for the info. I guess it's time for them to change their brochure so it matches their website.

CruisinCadie

Thanks for the great photos. We're in a 2C on the Equinox in January, and it's nice to actually see what to expect.

I never quite get this "obstructed view" thing. I've stayed in a 2C and yes, whilst you couldn't look straight down to the sea, the view out to sea was unobstructed. But all those cabins above, however high you go, also have the same view yet they are not marketed with a partially obstructed view. The 2c's represent excellent value if price is an issue.

This is the Solstice starboard side. Balcony cabins over the tenders, marked 6180 to 6210, are Cat. 2D obstructed and the ones to the right of 6180, over the lifeboat, are Cat. 2C balconies.  

I've sailed in cabin 6190 (2D) on the Solstice. I did alot of research before booking that cabin several years ago. It is one of the cabins that have a balcony view exactly between the struts so you are actually able to see the water below. Our only negative was that we like to keep our drapes open at night and the light outside our cabin shined on the orange top of the lifeboat. (very bright)

Its just on the other side of the ship so there is a good chance I will be seing the same thing:)

I just booked this cabin on the Reflection for next May. When you say it is triple the size of a regular balcony, is it depth or width? Thanks

hopeless holiday booker

trying to book cabins on silhouette now - have you been on your cruise and what was the view like?

  • 3 years later...

iluvcrewzn

I know this is an old thread but hoping to get some help. We are booked in cabin 6252 and read the cabins are huge? and balcony larger? Is this true? I only have a week to change our cabin so any help would be wonderful.

2CatsInFlorida

We are in Silhouette now cabin 6173. The first pic is our cabin the second pic is the cabin next to ours obstructed by lifeboat davit arms.
