What is an ocean liner?

An ocean liner is a large passenger ship designed to cross oceans and travel between continents. Unlike cruise ships, which focus on entertainment and relaxation, ocean liners prioritize comfort, elegance, and luxury travel. Historically, ocean liners were the primary method of long-distance travel for those journeying between continents, but they have become less common with the advent of air travel. The most famous ocean liners include the Titanic, the Queen Mary, and the Queen Elizabeth 2. Today, there are still a few luxury ocean liners that offer transoceanic journeys and around-the-world voyages, catering to a wealthy and discerning clientele. These vessels typically have multiple restaurants, bars, theaters, spas, and luxury accommodations, and may feature amenities such as art collections, libraries, and casinos.
