Working on cruise ships is often described as a combination of good earnings and exceptionally demanding conditions. Long working hours, physical exhaustion, and months-long absences from home are part of the daily routine for ship staff.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, what regularly triggers the most reactions is the space where employees live\u2014cabins that are often smaller than an average apartment pantry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stefan Kova\u010di\u0107<\/strong>, a crew member on a cruise ship, recently showcased the space where he will spend more than seven months without a break. On Instagram, where he goes by the handle “Stefi o1” and has over 30,000 followers, he regularly shares details of life on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Four-Square-Meter Cabin for Months at Sea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stefan’s cabin spans only about four square meters<\/strong> and looks almost identical to those from previous years, as crew housing units are strictly standardized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessing the cabin is possible only with a ship card, which simultaneously serves as identification, a key, and a means of movement control on the ship. Within that tiny space, there is a bed, a wardrobe for civilian and work clothes, a small refrigerator, basic hygiene supplies, and a television with a limited number of channels. Every centimeter is carefully utilized, and comfort is secondary to functionality. Nevertheless, Stefan tried to give the space a personal touch. New Year\u2019s decorations, a small Christmas tree, and tiny details testify to the need to create a sense of home even in cramped conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A One-Square-Meter Bathroom and Daily Compromises<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The bathroom presents a particular shock to those seeing these conditions for the first time. The toilet<\/strong>, which Stefan shares with one other person, occupies about one square meter<\/strong>. It houses the shower, sink, and toilet with no extra space\u2014everything is within arm’s reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
