Talk:Superliner (passenger ship)

The definition here is not self-consistent - there must be over a hundred passenger ships today topping 10,000 tons currently, and maybe a dozen over 100,000 tons. So I think it would be more secure to say a "superliner" is one significantly larger than the average for the time, and that it is more of a marketing term than a technical one.

True, but very few passenger ships today are liners. The term persisted right into the fifties to describe ships that were not all that large.--Nycto 05:00, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)
