Could medium ocean liners return?

Is there a future for smaller, faster ocean liners as large cruise ships are scrapped?

Possibly for medium-size or prestige services, while very small ships lack scale and very large ships carry high operating costs.

True liners provide transport, while cruise ships are designed primarily around the voyage experience. Very small ships struggle with unit cost and very large ones are expensive to operate, leaving room for medium vessels and high-status services. Concorde offers a comparison because corporate travelers valued its prestige more highly than its ticket price initially reflected. Status demand can support a premium route even when the broader market contracts.
