All Ocean Liners That Still Exist Today

Hello everyone! I’d like to point out that the SS Great Britain is actually located in Bristol, and not in Lisbon. Sorry for the confusion😅

Can you please tell me where queen Mary 2 is so I can take a ride on her plz!!!!?

​@geographyRyan_YT That is the original Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA and she is a museum ship and definitely no longer operstional.

I knew that, because I recently watched a video by Steve Marsh in which he visits the SS Great Britain in Bristol.

SS Great Britain was also the world’s first metal ship which made wooden ships obsolete overnight. She was also the first ship to be propeller driven. All that came after her apart from those around now have sunk or been scrapped. A great testament to its designer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

I find ships that were built prior to 1970 had identity, these ships were created with panache and class. One can see a glimpse of them in older movies, which might explain part of there enduring appeal. Today's vessel seemed to be floating cities in comparison.

A few weeks ago I went and stopped a night on SS Rotterdam, as well as doing the full tour, including the engine rooms. Was great to see how well preserved she is, especially the machinery spaces below decks, and the bridge, radio room and crew cabins. Also they still have some of the original crew doing the tours. Also amazing to have such a piece of history practically on my doorstep (compared to the likes of Queen Mary or QE2).

I've been on 65 cruises & two of them (I believe) were on two of these ships! In the mid-90's, the SS Rotterdam was bought by a new company & renamed the SS Rembrant! I sailed on it in 1997 on a very inexpensive 1 wk. Mediterranean cruise & it clarified the difference between cruise ships & ocean liners! The last was a 2 wk. Med. cruise on the QE2 in 2003, which still looked immaculately clean & new, even after 34 years!

I too did a Mediterranean cruise on SS Rembrandt while it was being operated by Premier Cruises. Would have been around the same time as yourself. Lovely traditional ship.

[@muzluv33]

My family and I returned from a European tour on the QE2. We boarded in Cherbourg, France (the route originated in Southampton, England). Trip took about five days and we enjoyed it immensely - both relaxing and with plenty of activities when in the mood. Service all around was terrific - likewise the food and plenty of it. The bonus was that on one of the days of cruising we passed the SS United States going in the opposite direction - how cool was that? While I have always enjoyed flying I certainly wouldn't mind another overseas ocean voyage God willing. I have been on Caribbean cruises and while also fun do not have the same allure as the great ocean liners. Great video - glad to see so many of those grand ships are still in existence and as links to a past history that can never be duplicated.

While ocean linear would be interesting in the modern day the same reason they became unused in the 70s and 80s means that their use would be unprofitable, no one besides ship enthusiasts would sit on a ship for around 4-5 days when they could rather take a 7 hour flight over the Atlantic instead

Then there is the issue of cost, a flight from JFK airport too SOU airport is $457 for a one way trip and $781 for a two way trip according to Expida while according to the Cunard it cost $780 per person, flights are simply more cheaper, faster and cheaper for the company to operate then ocean liners another reason why they fell out of favor for the public

Big U. America's Superliner. The fastest liner ever built, with nearly 250,000 shaft horsepower. Only nuclear supercarriers have equalled or surpassed that kind of sheer might. Magnificent even streaked with rust and in faded livery, but appearances can be deceptive; she is structurally quite sound. If I were a multi- billionaire, SS United States would be completely restored to full operationing condition as a functional museum, with her interior spaces rebuilt, sans asbestos. I wouldn't try to put her back into regular transatlantic service, but she would be far from static. Shorter excursions, 40-knot thrill rides...and her speed and size would be put to good use delivering personell and supplies for disaster relief when needed. She would, of course, be maintained in absolutely impeccable, ship-shape condition. Are there any billionaires out there with the guts, vision, and heart to do something like this..?

Actually she herself rammed and sank a German U-Boat in May of 1918. Was not only reliable but could also bite. ♍

[@thatww2nerd81]

I knew, about the Queens, United States, Rotterdam, and Savanna (even though technical shes a combination liner, buts thats being really nitpicky), but I no idea that others existed. Im hoing to have to update my bucket list.

Queen elizabeth 2😢 ❤I miss her soo much xx

[@MarkerBFD1]

Ayyyy i been on o doulus too

[@Mechanical_Insanity]

I stayed for 1 night last weekend on the SS Rotterdam.

[@Mr_Tato_The_Feline]

What about the SS Nomadic and the SS Traffic? They count as ocean liners I think

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

They are not ocean liners. They are tender ships.

[@allisonlynch8824]

SS Great Britain is a museum ship in Bristol UK where she was built. Not in Lisbon Portugal.

Just pointing out that the United States was a superliner

[@aiiixiii5773]

Ngl 500 is abit on an understatement Id say over 1000 ships

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

There’s probably about 500ish liners, but definitely not over 1000. Even taking into account obscure liners from the 1800’s, it just doesn’t add up to over 1000.

[@aiiixiii5773]

Wait a minute the queen Mary is retired no longer in use it is now a museum

[@ChrisCooper312]

That's the case with most of these, other than Queen Mary 2.

Who here misses ocean liners, me personally a LOT.

[@steelcomrade6871]

Was NS Savannah an ocean liner?- I thought she was a cargo ship.

[@SilvanaaaCat]

I will make a video with the same theme and style but about the latest airplane flights, can I?

[@noodengr3three825]

Just asking for clarification. What distinguishes an ocean liner from a cruise ship?

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

Here’s some key differences. An ocean liner is designed to get you from point A to point B as fast as possible. A cruise ship is simply a floating structure full of entertainment. They are in no rush to get anywhere. Cruise Ships also have various ports of call, where passengers may go on tours known as "shore excursions”. Because of this, Ocean Liners and Cruise ships are built quite differently. Ocean Liners are built to withstand the rough seas, which means they’ll have stronger hulls than Cruise Ships. The reason ocean liners are nearly extinct today is because Airplanes replaced the role of Ocean Liners.

[@noodengr3three825]

@@nboceanlinerhistory thank you

[@Broomstone]

I once read that a liner was built to cross oceans, a cruise ship is a barge with a hotel on top.

[@TonyRadcliffe]

What about the TSS Duke of Lancaster ? former railway steamer passenger ship that operated in Europe from 1956 to 1979, and is beached near Mostyn Docks in North Wales

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

She was designed to operate as both a passenger ferry (primarily on the Heysham to Belfast route) and as a cruise ship. Therefore the Duke of Lancaster wouldn’t be included on this list.

[@TonyRadcliffe]

OK fair enough I knew she operated cruises but not totally in know of her full past.. she just came to mind lol :-)@@nboceanlinerhistory

The MV Bore is another ship that you should have mentioned. That ship is now a hotel and museum in Turku.

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

MV Bore was car/passenger ferry. Therefore I couldn’t have added her to the list.

[@TheRelativy]

I wouldn't say that SS United States is intact today.

[@nboceanlinerhistory]

Your absolutely right. But at least she’s still more intact then your average ship wreck

[@katiefisher7928]

I dunno where u got ur info on the Great Britain but she is not in Lisbon she’s in Bristol in the uk

Yeah I that was on accident. I must have had the MV Funchal in mind when making the section for SS Great Britain and I somehow overlooked that mistake.
