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 doesnât 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.
An ocean is a large expanse of salt water that covers three-quarters of the earthâs surface. It is bounded by the continents, or the equator, and other imaginary lines. The Earthâs seven main oceans are; the Arctic, North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Pacific, Indian and Antarctic Oceans. These seven main oceans comprise the âworld oceanâ. Sea on the other hand, is a body of salt water that is surrounded by land on all or most sides, or that is part of one of the oceans.
