superliner
Giant ocean liner
A superliner is an exceptionally large or luxurious ocean liner, especially the grand passenger ships of the early-to-mid twentieth century that competed for transatlantic speed records and elite clientele: The Queen Mary was one of the great superliners of her era.
The term distinguishes these vessels from ordinary liners by emphasizing their superior size, speed, or appointments.
