Note that airships and landships are covered here as well, especially if they look like stereotypical sea ships for whateverreason.

* ''VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash'' has Daisy Cruiser: it features a private pool which works as a bottomless pit, moving tables in a restaurant and a hidden passage leading to the boiling room with a cannon to escape. Pictured above is the ''VideoGame/MarioKart7'' reiteration, which holds little differences: because of the underwater mechanic, the pool can be crossed as a shortcut and the boiling room becomes a coral private suite.

* ''VideoGame/{{GoldenEye|1997}}'' has the Frigate level, where you must rescue hostages held by terrorists and place a tracker on a helicopter about to be stolen. The [[VideoGame/GoldenEyeWii 2010 remake]] likewise has the second half of the Dubai: Carrier level.

* One of the dungeons of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'' is a cruise liner with the Tokyo parliament building on it sailing atop Tokyo. The dungeons of Persona 5 are shaped by the twisted perceptions of the people the Phantom Thieves target and this particular dungeon is based on the target's political ambitions, and how he'd let the entire country sink under him in order to prop up those ambitions. Several climactic battles are fought here, including [[spoiler: the SixthRangerTraitor who tried to sell out the Thieves and the BigBad..]]

* ''Manta Maria'', a decommissioned ship being used as a multiplayer map in ''VideoGame/Splatoon2''. When talking about the stage, Pearl mentions she got a [[WealthyYachtOwner similar ship for her sixth birthday]].
