Can you imagine sailing across the Atlantic - is this exclamatory or interrogative sentence?

The sentence "Imagine sailing across the Atlantic" is interrogative.

Although it doesn't contain the traditional question words like "who," "what," "where," etc., it is a question because it implies a request for the listener to perform an action: to imagine.

Here's how we can rephrase it to make it more explicitly interrogative:

* Can you imagine sailing across the Atlantic?
