Which code does this activity belong in?
Deep Sea Passenger Transportation establishments carry passengers on routes that cross international borders to or from foreign ports. This distinguishes them from Coastal and Great Lakes Passenger Transportation, which operates only between U.S. ports, U.S. territories, and U.S. protectorates. The defining characteristic is the destination: deep sea passenger carriers serve foreign ports, while their coastal and Great Lakes counterparts remain within U.S. waters and U.S.-affiliated territorial boundaries.
