Are any true ocean liners still operating?
Short answerQueen Mary 2 is officially the sole remaining ocean liner in service, although her cruise role makes her a modern hybrid.
NotesQueen Mary 2 is identified as the only vessel officially described as an ocean liner still in seagoing service. She is also a hybrid shaped by the cruise market as well as transatlantic requirements. A liner is designed around dependable passage across an ocean, while a cruise ship is primarily a destination and leisure platform. Queen Mary 2 preserves the older category without simply recreating Titanic's commercial world.
