List of ocean liners

This is a list of ocean liners, which are passenger ships engaged in the transportation of passengers and goods in line voyages. Ships primarily designed for pleasure cruises are listed at List of cruise ships. Some ships which have been explicitly designed for both line voyages and cruises, or which have been converted from liners to cruise ships, may be listed in both places.

"Note that ships with multiple names may be listed here under each name."
