What is a "berth"?
A berth is a designated sleeping space in a train, ship, or other mode of transportation, designed to provide passengers with a place to rest during long trips. It can be a fixed bed or a foldable sleeping area, often arranged in private compartments or shared sections. Berths are commonly used in overnight trains and ships, offering bedding and sometimes additional features like curtains or storage space to ensure a more comfortable journey compared to regular seating.
