vessel.

OCEAN LINERS

They typically have more freeboard than cruise ships, which simply means their highest open-air deck is higher off the water than that on a cruise ship. This makes an ocean liner a lot more expensive to build than a cruise ship.

Their bows are long and tapered to allow them to cut through the waves.
