ferry passenger

Deck-standing water traveler

A ferry passenger is someone traveling on a ferry—a boat or ship that carries people and often vehicles across a body of water on a regular route.

The term distinguishes those riding the ferry from its crew: Ferry passengers lined the deck as the boat approached the island.
