Claim:
1. A vehicle cabin arrangement for assisting boarding of a vehicle body, comprising: a cabin wall which extends in tubular manner along a cabin longitudinal axis and surrounds an interior space, wherein the cabin wall has, when viewed transversely with respect to the cabin longitudinal axis, two opposite side sections, a ceiling section arranged between the two side sections and a floor section opposite the ceiling section; a lighting device, which is disposed centrally above a longitudinal aisle on the ceiling section and has a light-emitting surface directed towards the interior space, wherein the lighting device has a plurality of separate lighting elements, each of which has a dedicated light-emitting element surface directed towards the interior space and can assume different switch-on states or different light emission states which differ in terms of at least one property of the light emitted by the element surface of the respective lighting element; a control device for controlling the lighting device; the lighting elements being arranged distributed over the ceiling section where a plurality of element surfaces are arranged next to one another both in a direction parallel to the cabin longitudinal axis and in a direction perpendicular to the cabin longitudinal axis; the control device being adapted to control each lighting element individually such that, during operation, the lighting element can assume selectively each of the different switch-on states or different light emission states independently of the other lighting elements; and the control device having a storage device for storing a plurality of control parameter sets, each of which corresponds to a different light emission pattern of the plurality of lighting elements, the pattern comprising different switch-on states or light emission states of different lighting elements, and the control device being adapted to control the lighting device selectively for each of the control parameter sets where the lighting elements are operated in accordance with the corresponding light emission pattern; wherein a sensor device is provided in signal connection to the control device and configured to receive a boarding pass signal from an electronic boarding pass and to transmit a sensor signal corresponding to the boarding pass signal to the control device, wherein the boarding pass signal and the sensor signal comprise identification information which is configured to identify a seat of a holder of a boarding pass, and wherein the control device is configured to control the lighting elements corresponding to the sensor signal, such that one or more of the plurality of element surfaces, which is in a region of the seat of the holder of the boarding pass or is assigned to the seat of the holder of the boarding pass, is configured to reproduce information indicating the seat of the holder of the boarding pass by emitting corresponding light in the form of an arrow or in the form of a path which is configured to extend from an entry of the vehicle cabin arrangement up to the corresponding allocated seat.
