voyages
Long ocean crossings
Voyages are long journeys, especially by sea or through space.
The word carries a sense of significant distance and duration—a cruise across the Atlantic is a voyage, while a ferry ride is not.
Figuratively, voyages describe any extended journey of discovery: a voyage of self-discovery, voyages into the unknown.
The verb means to make such a journey: They voyaged across the Pacific.
