List of cruise ships

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Haco~enwiki (talk | contribs) at 19:27, 13 July 2007 (C). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of cruise ships, both those in service and those that have since ceased to operate. Both cruise ships and cruiseferries are included in this list.

As some cruise ships have operated under multiple names, all names will be listed, but the history of the vessel will be compiled under the vessel's current or most recent name. Only the name of the article will be wikilinked; the previous names' entries will have a link to the article in the "Status" section of the list.

If a vessel is not currently operating as a cruise ship, only the most recent operation will be listed here. Likewise, if a vessel fulfilled another role before becoming a cruise ship, the first entry for the vessel will occur when the vessel began its career as a cruise ship.

Ocean liners are not included on this list, see List of ocean liners
