river cruise ship
Waterway passenger vessel
A river cruise ship is a passenger vessel designed to navigate inland waterways—rivers, canals, and lakes—rather than open ocean.
These ships are built lower and narrower than ocean liners to fit under bridges and through locks: We took a river cruise ship down the Danube.
They typically carry fewer passengers and offer calmer sailing than their oceangoing counterparts.
