The aft refers to the rear or back end of a cruise ship, with cabins typically located at the front (forward), middle (midship), and engines at the back (aft area). Forward and aft are directional terms, similar to bow and stern, rather than physical parts of the ship. The bow is located forward, and the stern is located at the back. Aft balcony cabins are located at the back of a cruise ship, offering outdoor space and a better view of the ship’s stern.
The aft is the area near the ship’s stern at the rear of the ship, and the direction is called aftward or rearward. The rudder and engines are usually back there. The bottom of a cruise ship is referred to as the hull, which can be further broken down into other parts and features that all work together. Aft cabins suffer from the same problems as those at the front, just to a lesser extent.
The stern is located at the back end of the ship, opposite from the bow. Cruisers can enjoy uninterrupted views at the stern of the ship. Cabins come in all types, including balconies, which are typically found in staterooms.
