ferry crossings
Boat trips across
Ferry crossings are trips made by ferry—a boat or ship that carries passengers, vehicles, or cargo across a body of water on a regular route.
The term emphasizes the journey itself rather than the vessel: The ferry crossings to the island take about forty minutes.
Some crossings are brief passages across rivers or channels; others span open water between distant ports.
