Journeying by ship
Sea travel is transportation by ship or boat across oceans, seas, or other bodies of water.
The term encompasses everything from cruise voyages to cargo shipping to ferry crossings.
Before air travel, sea travel was the only way to cross oceans: Sea travel from Europe to America took weeks.
The phrase often evokes a slower, more romantic mode of journey than modern alternatives.
