Morphology
The noun phrase is fully compositional: 'express' (fast/with few stops) + 'luxury' (lavish comfort) + 'liner' (passenger ship) combine in a standard modifier + noun pattern to denote a fast, high-end passenger ship. This follows common cross-linguistic compound logic and would be directly inferable by a B1 learner who knows the three constituent words.
Etymology
Express luxury liner combines express ('very fast'), luxury ('very comfortable'), and liner ('a big passenger ship that runs on a fixed route'). Picture a shining palace on the sea racing between cities, so it means 'a large passenger ship designed for fast travel and equipped with luxurious accommodations and amenities'.
