Crossing by ship
Ocean travel is journeying by ship across seas or oceans, whether for transportation, commerce, or pleasure.
Before air travel, ocean travel was the only way to cross between continents: Ocean travel in the age of sail could take months.
The phrase now often evokes cruise ships and leisure voyages rather than practical transit.
