shipboard
Aboard a ship
Shipboard describes things located on, happening on, or designed for use aboard a ship: shipboard romance, shipboard equipment, shipboard life.
The word functions almost exclusively as an adjective.
The phrase on shipboard means aboard a ship, though it sounds dated compared to simply on board or aboard.
