Ocean liner
Seagoing passenger ship
An ocean liner is a large passenger ship designed for scheduled voyages across oceans, particularly the transatlantic route between Europe and North America.
Unlike cruise ships, which emphasize onboard entertainment and port visits, ocean liners were built for speed and reliability as transportation.
The era of ocean liners peaked before commercial aviation made air travel dominant: She crossed on the Queen Mary in 1952.
Few true ocean liners remain in service today.
