Ocean Liner vs Cruise Ship: 5 Massive Differences You Must Know

The bow on an ocean liner is not just for looks. It's built to withstand and survive the most powerful forces of nature, including the 90-foot rogue wave that famously hit the QE2. But a ship's bow is just one of the five key features that make an ocean liner so different from a cruise ship. In this video, we'll reveal the five core design characteristics that set ocean liners apart from their cruise ship counterparts and explain why a true liner - like QM2, the only one left - is built for endurance, speed, and safety in the open ocean. ✓ Join the channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgk7SzYDkiXWWBfMqXYH0cA/join 🛳️ SUBSTACK: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com/ 📚 Buy my books: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/books 👕 Buy cruise merch: https://themaritimehistorian.teemill.com/ 🌐 Find out about our Cruise Consultancy business: https://frameandcross.com/ 🚢 My Cunard History Website: https://www.chriscunard.com/ 🔍 More About This Video: I am often asked the question: “what’s the difference between an ocean liner and a cruise ship?” The vast majority of ships offering cruise voyages today are cruise ships, designed to undertake pleasure voyages largely in coastal waters. Ocean Liners, on the other hand, are passenger ships that are designed to regularly undertake a line voyage, sailing between point A and Point B across an expanse of open ocean. 🎥 OUR EQUIPMENT: Camera - DJI Mimo Pocket 2: https://amzn.to/3XjXwQn Vlogging Mic: DJI Mic: https://amzn.to/3D3idJP Lav Mic: DJI Lavalier Mic: https://amzn.to/4klRgBA Voice Over Mic: Audio Technica: https://amzn.to/4ij8myg These are affiliate links meaning we may receive a small commission from any sales. -- 🗺️ CUSTOM CRUISE MAP: Made using AIS (satellite ship-tracking) data, The Cruise Maps show the exact route.
