ocean voyage
Transatlantic ship trip
An ocean voyage is a journey by ship across the sea, typically covering substantial distance and lasting days or weeks.
The term evokes an era before air travel, when crossing oceans meant extended time aboard passenger liners: an ocean voyage to Europe, the immigrants' ocean voyage to America.
Now often used for leisure cruises or nostalgic effect.
