Very different technology in use though, modern ocean liners run at over 30 knots.

What modern ocean liners even exist? They just scrapped the SS United States because it spent 50 years in dock after jet planes replaced ocean liners.

Cunard still runs transatlantic liner service. The QM2 is built as a combination ocean liner/cruise ship and does serve the north atlantic route on a schedule.

Only remaining ocean liner is the QM2 with cruising speed of 26kt, still slower than the SS United States which did 30kt.
