seven seas
All the oceans
The seven seas is a phrase for all the world's oceans collectively—the idea of sailing the seven seas means traveling everywhere by water.
The actual count of seven varies by era and geography, having referred to different bodies of water throughout history.
The phrase now functions as a poetic or emphatic way of saying "all the oceans": She searched the seven seas for adventure.
