'''Treasure Ship''' is the third racecourse in the Expert League in ''[[Rayman M]]'' and can be unlocked by completing all the racing stages in Advanced League in the Race mode. It is also present in ''[[Rayman Arena]]'', where it is featured in Cup 3 (Beginner League and Master League and Cup 7 (Pro League) and finishing [[Zenith Harbour]] is necessary to unlock it.

As its name suggests, the racetrack takes place aboard a large [[Robo-Pirate]] ship. It is a unique racing stage, because every section of the course is located on a different deck, creating a four-story vertical loop, unlike any other level in ''Rayman M''.

Treasure Ship, like every other standard racing stage in ''[[Rayman M]]'', can be played in five different modes in the single-player mode: Training, Race, Popolopoï (30 [[Popolopoï]]s to shoot), Lums (55 [[Yellow Lum]]s to collect) and also [[On and On]]. Multiplayer mode allows for play in Race and Kill Time modes. The level includes two checkpoint lines and fourteen [[switch]]es, although the number of the latter is reduced in the North American PC version of the game.

This stage, along with the other racing courses in the Expert League, is based on the [[Robo-Pirate]] strongholds and structures found in ''[[Rayman 2]]'', although it is the only stage that takes place on an actual ship. The appearance of its exterior is not known, however a small part of the main deck with vents sticking out of it can be seen in the U-turns between the decks. The ship floats in a dark void and is surrounded by [[warship]]s flying around it. Its interior bears resemblance to the [[Buccaneer]]'s, especially its version in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'' (mainly the last part of [[the Prison Ship]]). Many metal [[cage]]s are stored inside, as well as numerous piles of golden coins with diamonds and other treasures. The wooden walls and floors are decorated in a typical Robo-Pirate manner - with various ornamented carpets and flags with robot skulls on them. The camera in this level constantly swings from left to right, simulating the swinging of the ship.

The course is an unusual vertical loop with four floors, or rather four decks. The start/finish line is located in the spacious hold full of [[Purple Lum]]s. The second floor/deck is a hallway with sliding ramps and moving grate doors. The third deck is split into two separate routes with [[electric beam]]s and wooden elevating platforms, which switches are intertwined with each other. The fourth floor/deck is a big open hall with several different paths that ends with a fall down to the hold. Alongside the previously mentioned obstacles, Treasure Ship also features: static and moving speed boosters, [[bumper]]s, climbing nets, muddy surfaces, retractable sliding platforms, moving and rotating platforms, moving fences and [[explosive barrel]]s. Another remarkable trait of this level is its mini-map, which shows the side view of the loop, instead of the usual view from above.
