what is true about ocean liners?
In regular maritime jargon, a ship that has a regular ocean-going route from point A to point B is an ocean liner, even if it doesnât carry passengers. The prominent passenger carrying ocean liners of recent decades have been the Queen Elizabeth 2, and more recently the Queen Mary 2, completed in 2003. In fact, the Queen Mary 2 was the first dedicated passenger service ocean liner built in over 30 years, and is now the sole true ocean liner carrying passengers in the world. With the advent of fast air travel and the dawning of the cruise industry, retired ocean liners were converted into cruise ships.
