Can a cruise ship turn over. If the CoG was above the water line in any situation then any perturbation would capsize the ship. Theyre safe from rolling over. Wind cant blow them over waves cant topple them because the CoG is always below the waterline.

They then move through the water at great depth rather than on top of it. Weather is the most hazardous condition to threaten the stability of a large liner. Yes you can actually live on any cruise ship that you want but it would require booking a cruise on every single voyage on that ship.

Under the 2010 Vessel Safety and Security Act CVSSA cruise lines are required to install automatic man overboard system to detect when passengers go overboard.

I explain how Cruise ships stay up. Modern cruise ships are designed to be able to roll up to 60-degrees and recover in this picture costa concordia has partially sunk and is lying at a 65-degree angle.
