cruise ships

Vacation ocean vessels

Cruise ships are large passenger vessels designed for leisure voyages, offering accommodations, dining, entertainment, and amenities like pools and casinos.

Unlike ocean liners built for point-to-point transport, cruise ships prioritize the journey itself as vacation: They took a cruise ship through the Caribbean.

The industry caters to mass tourism, with ships carrying thousands of passengers to multiple ports of call.
