The Floating World Class cruise liner was a model of starship that plied the starlanes of the Verse, transporting passengers in relative comfort.
Characteristics
Role
Vessels of the Floating World Class sailed a prescribed route through the systems of the Verse, usually taking their time and allowing their passengers to enjoy the journey. The passengers could enjoy the various shipboard facilities, and take in the sights of the Verse as the ship continued on its round. Generally, the ship would only stop at planets long enough to take on food and supplies, allow passengers to see the "exotic" sights of the current planet they were visiting, allow passengers to embark or debark as needed, and to change entertainment troupes.
