Onboard

What does onboard mean?
"Onboard" refers to anything related to being on a boat, ship, or other watercraft. It describes the location, activities, or items that are physically present on the vessel during a trip.

It can also describe things such as "onboard amenities" (facilities available on the boat), "onboard services" (like catering or entertainment), or "onboard crew" (the staff working on the boat). Essentially, anything that happens or exists on the boat itself is considered to be "onboard."
