sailings
Scheduled ocean voyages
Sailings are scheduled departures of ships or boats: Check the ferry sailings to the island.
The plural typically appears in transportation contexts—cruise lines, ferries, cargo vessels—where multiple departure times are listed: Daily sailings leave at noon and six.
A sailing is also an instance of traveling by sail or the sport itself.
