Passenger ship pinyin

The pinyin for passenger ships is kè lún n.

Data expansion:

Passenger ships are large ships mainly used to transport passengers. It is divided into ferry, ocean liner and cruise ship. Ferry routes are usually short-distance transportation for passengers crossing water bodies or only one day or one night; Ocean-going passenger ships sail long distances; Cruise ships usually have no traffic function and are mainly used for entertainment. After the voyage, they usually take tourists to the original starting point and disembark.

Ferry:

Ferry, also known as ferry boat and traffic boat, is a merchant ship used to transport passengers on fixed routes and generally provides two-way transportation services. Ferry sometimes carries vehicles and goods, and sometimes it is called "water bus" or "water taxi" because of its different functions. Ferry is a mass transportation system for islands and cities. For transportation between two points, the cost of ferry is lower than that of building a bridge or tunnel. But the disadvantage is that it is easy to be affected by climate and stop sailing.

Cruise ship:

Cruise Liner, also known as cruise ship, is a kind of passenger ship used for entertainment and navigation. The voyage, the destination along the way and the facilities on board are all part of providing entertainment. Transportation is not its main purpose. Although some routes are one-way, cruise ships usually send passengers back to their starting places.

Strictly speaking, a "cruise ship" is not a cruise ship (English: Mail Ship): the latter refers to a ship that has signed a contract with a postal agency to undertake the mail delivery task. For example, the Royal Cruises in Britain is a ship that undertakes the delivery of Royal Mail at the same time, and the cruise ship is just a leisure ship, so most designs pay more attention to entertainment facilities than speed requirements.

As for the speed requirement of postal transportation, cruise ships must have a faster speed. In the19th century and before the popularization of air passenger transport in the 20th century, mail contracts were given to shipping companies with the fastest and newest ships. In this way, passenger ships also have postal transportation work.

Therefore, in Chinese, "cruise ship" has become a commendatory term referring to passenger ships at sea, and it has become synonymous with "cruise ship" because of its homonym. With the rapid development of aviation industry, passenger and postal services are gradually replaced by aviation industry, and personnel carriers are gradually becoming sightseeing services. Among the large cruise ships in service, only Queen Mary II is the official cruise ship.
