passenger liner
Transatlantic people carrier
A passenger liner is a large ship designed to carry travelers on regular routes across oceans or seas.
Distinguished from cargo vessels and cruise ships, liners historically operated scheduled service between ports—the great Atlantic liners like the *Queen Mary* connected continents before commercial aviation.
They crossed on a passenger liner from Southampton to New York.
The term now mostly appears in historical contexts, as cruise ships have largely replaced scheduled ocean travel.
