passenger of higher class

Question

On a ship, you have first class cabins and second class, how do you write this?
How can you make the distinction between social class and room type?

The higher class passengers were higher up/passengers of higher class had cabins higher up on the ship.

Thanks

I'd just say eg The first-class cabins are higher in the ship.

They are also much larger and luxurious and they have windows and even a balcony,

If you are talking about social class do you say 'passengers of (the) higher class are..."

That's a correct phrase, although to me more direct is simply higher-class passengers.

However, in the culture I live in, we seldom speak directly of higher-class people.
For example, in a plan we consider the expensive seats first-class, but we don't usually speak of their occupants as having a higher social class. They are merely richer.
