⭐Yes why not!

⭐Officers can carry their wives and evenjoy their kids on board. There are few determining factors such as

^_^Company Policy : Different companies implement different policies for the carriage of family on board. Consult with your seniors in that company, they will guide you.

Suppose if the lifeboat capacity of a ship is 25, and there are only 23 crew on board then you can take your wife as well as your child (who would occupy 2 remaining seats) Sufficient no. Lifejackets should be available for all the crew on board.

⭐HRA (High Risk Area) : Its not advisable to carry you wife to those ships which are transiting in HRA such as Somalia. And most companies are against it...
