English term or phrase: electric heads
The yacht has four luxurious double staterooms with dressing areas and en suite electric heads and separate shower stalls, and forward in each hull are single berths.

Iemand die mij op weg kan helpen met electric heads in deze context? Mijn dank is bij voorbaat al groot.
