sea crossing
Ship's maritime journey
A sea crossing is a journey across a body of water, typically by boat or ship.
The term emphasizes the transit itself rather than the destination: The sea crossing from Dover to Calais takes about ninety minutes.
It often implies a discrete passage between two landmasses, as opposed to an extended ocean voyage.
