cruise liners

Floating vacation vessels

Cruise liners are large passenger ships designed for leisure voyages rather than transportation between ports.

They offer onboard entertainment, dining, and accommodations as the primary experience, with stops at various destinations along the way: The cruise liner docked in Nassau for the day.

The term is often used interchangeably with cruise ships.
