Voyages

This article may not be updated for Season 11. It may contain inaccuracies and requires updating. |
Voyages are thematic collections of Quests that players can choose to embark upon. To begin a Voyage, players must chose a Voyage for a vote on the ship's Captain's Table. Many Trading Companies provide different types of Voyages of varying difficulties.
Mechanics
Voting
In order to begin a Voyage, a crew or alliance member must interact with the ship's Captain's Table to chose a Voyage from the Voyages Menu for voting. If the crew has only one player, the Voyage will begin immediately. If not, the Voyage has to receive a majority vote to begin. Once voted for, the Voyage will become active, indicated with a title card for the Voyage. A Captain's Table can have up to four Voyages put up for a vote, but only one currently active Voyage and one Tall Tale. Once selected, the type of a Voyage is visible on the Captain's Table for all crews to see.
Crews can cancel any active Voyage by voting for it at the Captain's Table.
Gameplay
A single Voyage is usually composed of a variable number of quests and chapters. Each Trading Company Voyage consists of unique quest types, varying from classic treasure maps to engaging combat or cargo shipping, as well as many more. Voyage rewards are generally static and do not change based on crew sizes or promotion levels. As your reputation with each faction increases, you will unlock more difficult voyages, which usually offer more valuable rewards.
A multi-chapter Voyage is indicated by "Chapter One" appearing on the title card of the activated Voyage. These Voyages present quests in chapters, with following chapters appearing only when all the quests of the previous chapter are completed. The completion of a chapter is always indicated with another title card, with the last chapter always being introduced as the "Final Chapter". Once a Voyage is complete, a final title card will be presented to indicate its completion.
List of Voyage types
Voyages are generally themed around the Trading Company that provides them, sending players in search of treasure, locations or NPCs relevant to the company. Destinations from regular Voyages are typically in the three main regions of the Sea of Thieves, while Ashen Voyages, marked by the singed red edges, will be focused in The Devil's Roar.
