Trip by current
A river journey is a trip taken by boat, raft, or other watercraft along the course of a river.
Such journeys may be recreational, as with rafting excursions or scenic cruises, or they may serve practical purposes like transportation or exploration.
The phrase often evokes adventure narratives and literary accounts of travel through wilderness or unfamiliar territory.
