What modern ocean liners even exist?

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.
