Best Answer

Depending on the size of the liner, it can range from Diesel alone, to a combination of Diesel and electricity, and even gas turbines to augment the power generated from the ship's diesels.

Rather than long shafts turning fixed point propellers, some liners such as Cunard's Queen Mary II, use 'pods' which can be rotated as required. This provides advance manoeuvring capabilities whilst reducing hull vibration.
