Személyhajó

Személyhajó is the Hungarian word for passenger ship. It refers to any watercraft designed primarily for carrying passengers, as opposed to cargo or other specialized functions. These vessels operate on various bodies of water, including oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers. The size and type of személyhajó can vary greatly, ranging from small ferries and riverboats to large cruise liners.

Passenger ships are employed for a multitude of purposes. Ferries provide essential transport links between islands and mainland coasts, or across rivers. Riverboats offer scenic tours and transportation along inland waterways. Larger vessels, such as cruise ships, are designed for leisure travel, providing accommodation, entertainment, and dining facilities for passengers undertaking voyages.

The design of a személyhajó prioritizes passenger comfort and safety. They typically feature dedicated passenger decks, cabins, lounges, and public areas. Propulsion systems vary depending on the intended operating environment, with modern vessels often utilizing efficient and environmentally conscious technologies. The operation of passenger ships is subject to strict international regulations and safety standards to ensure the well-being of those on board.
