You can choose where to place your elevator: Within a staircase or anywhere in the vessel. The design can be adjusted to your taste and needs. Round elevators with see-through doors, golden hand rails, spots in the cabin ceiling - we will make it possible. Elevator doors should be designed should be constructed with fire-resistant materials. Cruise ship elevators should have a high capacity to accommodate a large number of passengers and crew members. This means that elevators should be spacious and have enough weight capacity to carry a large number of people and their luggage.
