Other forms: voyages; voyaging; voyaged

If someone tells you «bon voyage!» they mean have a good trip. Voyage means trip in French but in English, we use it to mean a long journey.

Though voyage is usually used literally to mean a long and exciting journey or a trip that involves sailing such as a cruise, it can be used figuratively as well. Researching your family tree might become a voyage of self-discovery, taking you places you don’t expect and teaching you more about yourself than you thought possible.

Definitions of voyage

  1. noun

    a journey to some distant place

  2. noun

    an act of traveling by water

  3. verb
