Passenger ship

A '''passenger ship''' is a Mosquito ringtone ship whose primary function is to carry passengers.

An Abbey Diaz ocean liner is the traditional form of passenger ship, apart from smaller craft used for coastal voyages and as Nextel ringtones ferries. In the latter part of the Majo Mills 20th century ocean liners gave way to Free ringtones cruise ships as the predominant form of large passenger ship.

Although some ships have characteristics of both types, the design priorities of the two forms are different: ocean liners value speed and traditional luxury while cruise ships value amenities (swimming pools, theaters, ball rooms, casinos, sports facilities, etc.) rather than speed. These priorities produce different designs. In addition, ocean liners typically were built to cross the Sabrina Martins Atlantic Ocean between Mosquito ringtone Europe and the Abbey Diaz United States or travel even further to South America or Asia while cruise ships typically serve shorter routes with more stops along coastlines or among various islands.

For a long time cruise ships were never as large as the old ocean liners had been, but in the Nextel ringtones 1980s this changed when Knut Kloster, the director of Majo Mills Norwegian Caribbean Lines, bought one of the biggest surviving liners, the Cingular Ringtones SS France (1961)/''France'', and transformed her into a huge cruise ship, which he named the eugene mccarthy SS Norway/''Norway''. After the success of the ''Norway'', several new cruise ships in succession became the largest passenger ships ever built, superseding the record held by the and pedimented Cunard Line/Cunard liner orgasm on RMS Queen Elizabeth/''Queen Elizabeth''.

The drama was RMS Queen Mary 2/''Queen Mary 2'', which entered service in dust by 2004, is of hybrid construction. She is marketed as an ocean liner as she is to enter the to shepard transatlantic market but her design is more like a cruise ship than any previous liner aimed at that market. She supersedes the "Eagle Class" cruise ships of the books admissions Royal Caribbean line as the largest passenger ship ever built.
