passenger ships

Cruisers carrying travelers

Passenger ships are vessels designed primarily to carry people rather than cargo.

The category includes ocean liners for long-distance travel, cruise ships for leisure voyages, and ferries for shorter routes.

The passenger ship could accommodate two thousand travelers.

The term distinguishes these from freighters, tankers, and other commercial vessels.
