I believe the answer is:

liner

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cruise ship' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for liner that I've seen before include "may be demonstrated by make-up artist" , "eg QE2" , "Cosmetic item - Titanic, for example" , "QE2, perhaps" , "Material applied to inner surface" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
