oceanliner
Transatlantic passenger vessel
An oceanliner is a large passenger ship designed for regular scheduled voyages across oceans, particularly the Atlantic.
Distinguished from cruise ships by their purpose—transportation rather than leisure—oceanliners dominated transatlantic travel before commercial aviation.
The Queen Mary and Titanic are famous examples.
Usually written as two words: ocean liner.
