The 1840s were an important time for travel because of steamships. Before steamships, ships used sails and depended on wind, which could be slow and unreliable. Steamships used steam engines to move paddle wheels or propellers, they did not need the wind and could travel faster on schedule. By the 1840s, steamship technology had improved enough to make crossing the Atlantic Ocean easier and quicker. Companies like British Cunard Line started steamship trips between Europe and North America.

One big reason was the growth of the railways. More railway lines were built, connecting towns and cities across Britain and other countries. Trains became faster and more comfortable, so people could travel longer distances in less time. Steam engines were also important for ships. Steamships became more common, helping people and goods travel across oceans more quickly and reliably than before It was mainly for the richer passengers. There wasn't much tech and their were cows onboard for milk.

In the 1860s, travel improved even more. Railways continued to expand quickly, linking more places in Britain and around the world. Trains became faster and carried more passengers and goods. This made travelling long distances much easier. Steamships also grew in number and size. They helped people cross oceans faster and more reliably. Many immigrants used steamships to travel to new countries like the United States. In cities, public transport like horse-drawn trams became popular.

Trains became faster and more reliable, helping both passengers and goods move quickly. Steamships also improved. Bigger and stronger ships carried more people and cargo across the seas. This made long-distance travel easier and more common. In towns and cities, new forms of transport started to appear. Horse-drawn trams were widely used, and some places began experimenting with early versions of electric trams. Overall, the 1870s saw travel become faster, safer, and more comfortable.

Disassociating a line ship from its fixed itinerary. There was a hierarchy within floors and rooms on a cruise, the poorer would be on lower floors, the richer would be on higher floors, showing status.

At the same time, cruise lines began launching much larger ships designed to be floating resorts, it became safer and more used.
