A passenger ship is a merchant ship whose primary function is to carry passengers on the sea. Passenger ships include ocean liners, which typically are passenger or passenger-cargo vessels transporting passengers and often cargo on longer line voyages. They also include cruise ships, which often transport passengers on round-trips, in which the trip itself and the attractions of the ship and ports visited are the principal draw. | |||
