Hospitality solution

Cruise ship and marine accommodation linen

Cruise and marine accommodation is the most size-constrained hospitality environment there is. Berths are built into the hull, not bought from a mattress catalogue, so almost every cabin item is a custom dimension. BOREDON supplies cruise lines, ferry operators, yacht managers and marine outfitters from the same factory that supplies land hotels, with cabin, spa, dining and crew textiles consolidated into one shipment per port call.

Buyer guidance

What ships change about a linen specification

Every berth is a custom size

Ship berths are fitted to the hull and frequently include cut corners, radiused ends, fixed headboards and mattresses between 10 and 16 cm deep. A standard fitted sheet will not hold on them. Send the measured width, length and depth per cabin class, plus any corner geometry, and sheets are cut to it — this is ordinary custom work for a factory that cuts to specification rather than picking from stock sizes.

Cabin class drives the whole matrix

Interior, oceanview, balcony, suite and crew cabins usually run different berth sizes, different par levels and sometimes different quality tiers. Build the matrix by cabin class with counts, then attach the item list per class. Crew accommodation is a substantial and often overlooked share of the total.

Storage is the binding constraint

Linen lockers aboard are small and expensive in revenue terms. Par levels are therefore set by what the vessel's own laundry can cycle within a voyage rather than by shore-side convention. Tell us the voyage length and onboard laundry capacity so quantities are set to what the ship can actually hold and turn.

Delivery is by port call, not by address

Marine supply runs to a vessel schedule. Provide the intended port, the delivery window and the ship's agent or chandler, and the consignment is packed and marked to be received in that window. Late linen cannot chase a ship, so the schedule is fixed backwards from the port call, and packing is marked by cabin class to speed distribution aboard.

One factory across cabins, spa, dining and crew

A vessel needs cabin bed linen, bath towels, pool and spa towels, restaurant tablecloths and napkins, and crew bedding — categories that shore-side buyers often split across several suppliers. Because all of them are produced in the same base in Xi’an, a marine buyer consolidates into one specification set, one inspection and one shipment.

Buyer FAQ

Questions about cruise ships & marine

Can you produce fitted sheets for non-standard ship berths?

Yes. Custom finished dimensions are standard work here; the constraint is fabric width and cutting feasibility, not the size being unusual. Send measured dimensions per cabin class, including mattress depth and any cut corners.

Do you supply crew accommodation as well as guest cabins?

Yes. Crew bedding is usually specified as a separate, more hard-wearing tier with its own par level, and is quoted as its own line in the same program.

Can delivery be timed to a port call?

Production is scheduled backwards from the delivery window you provide, and packing can be marked for the vessel, port and cabin class. Freight, customs clearance and final handover are arranged with your forwarder, agent or chandler.

What is the lead time for a cruise program?

Final lead time is confirmed after BOREDON reviews the product specification, quantity, customization, order mix and current production schedule.

Are these products certified for marine fire safety?

No marine flammability or fire-retardant certification is published for the standard range. Where a flag state or class requirement applies, identify the exact standard and evidence needed before quotation so it can be reviewed separately rather than assumed.
