Cruise lines (ocean)
Cruise lines provide vacation travel at sea. They operate passenger ships designed specifically for cruising, with a variety of entertainment, dining, and recreational facilities on board.
Cruise lines (river cruising).
These cruise lines specialize in cruises along rivers. River cruise ships tend to be smaller than ocean cruise ships and often offer luxurious voyages to historical and cultural sites along riverbanks.
