passenger ship

Cruise boat type

A passenger ship is a vessel designed primarily to carry people rather than cargo.

These range from massive ocean liners and cruise ships accommodating thousands of guests to smaller ferries shuttling commuters across harbors and rivers.

The passenger ship docked at Southampton before crossing the Atlantic.

Unlike cargo vessels, passenger ships feature cabins, dining facilities, and recreational spaces to serve travelers during their voyage.
