ferry rides

Boat trips across

Ferry rides are trips taken aboard a ferry—a boat or ship that carries passengers, vehicles, or cargo across a body of water on a regular route.

The term emphasizes the experience of the crossing rather than the transportation itself: The ferry rides across the harbor were the highlight of our trip.

Some ferry rides are brief commutes; others are scenic journeys lasting hours.
