legendary voyage
Fabled sea crossing
A legendary voyage is a journey—typically by sea—that has achieved fame through remarkable accomplishment, historical significance, or mythic status.
The phrase covers both real expeditions that entered collective memory (Columbus's legendary voyage to the Americas) and fictional journeys from literature and folklore (Odysseus's legendary voyage home).
A ship's maiden voyage may become legendary; so may any first crossing or exploration that captures the imagination.
