Definition: Voyage (a) means a journey, especially one undertaken by passengers on land or in ships to an external destination; (b) means the act of travelling; or (c) means an excursion or expedition by ship to a distant place. A voyage is often contrasted with the journey from point A to B, which can be described as a single journey, whereas a voyage typically includes other activities such as travel and accommodation.
