The Passenger Cabin

This cabin is especially made for the Traveller small craft 30-ton Ship’s Boat. The cabin is designed to make it easy to reconstruct your ship into a passenger vessel by removing the cargo area and replace it with the cabin.

The 30-Ton Slow Boat

The 30-Ton Slow Boat first featured as one of our social stretch goals in our Traveller Small Craft Kickstarter campaign in 2023. This vessel is a quite close relative to the Ship’s Boat but with some noticeable changes. It’s streamlined hull includes fixed wings and trades thrust for greater cargo capacity.

The Ship’s Boat as well as the Slow Boat are fully released, printable and has assembly instructions at the ready.

You can get the ship’s and the Ship’s Boat’s passenger cabin at our distributor MyMiniFactory. Just click the images to the right.

At MyMiniFactory you can also get the Ship’s Boat in 1:270 scale and as a Tactical Miniature. There are also a 40-Ton Ship’s Boat miniature as well as a Slow Boat mini available in artist Ian Stead’s design.
