If you take a ferry up from Washington state to Alaska, they have sleeper cabins of course for the rich but you are also allowed to pitch a tent on top in a designated area.

A tent on a ship? Knowing how windy it can get at sea, that sounds terrifying, how do you secure it? Or are we talking indoors?

Tents all go on deck, looks like duct tape is used.

Since the ferries travel mostly between the coast and islands, it isn’t anywhere as windy as the open sea.
