Marine travel
Marine travel is the movement of people or goods via waterways. Maritime transport includes ships, ferries, cruise liners, and cargo vessels. It is commonly used for leisure travel and commercial purposes.
For certain regions (especially islands or coastal areas), marine travel is the most efficient or only available mode of transport. It is also often more affordable for bulk cargo compared to other transportation methods like air freight. Cargo shipping involves moving containers, bulk goods, or specialized cargo between ports worldwide and is vital for global trade.
In terms of tourism, marine travel offers passengers the opportunity to explore destinations by sea. Many cruise services are designed for long-distance leisure travel and include accommodation, entertainment, dining, and recreational activities.
