mega-ship
Oceanic floating giant
A mega-ship is an exceptionally large vessel, typically a cruise ship or container ship that dwarfs conventional vessels in its class.
Cruise mega-ships carry thousands of passengers with amenities rivaling resort towns.
Container mega-ships have transformed global shipping, though their size limits which ports can receive them: The mega-ship was too large to pass through the old canal locks.
