Abstract
The principles and main components of cruise ship structures are presented, including the all-important longitudinal strength and how it is handled, and how wrong design can lead to structural cracks. This chapter outlines also what are the vibration sources and how the cruise ship is designed to avoid the vibrations affecting the passenger comfort. Principles of overcritical and subcritical steel structures are explained.
