Bon Voyage-Farewell

In the days of ocean liners, before air travel was common, it was customary to wish family and friends "good journey" when departing on extended trips and vacations.  Similarly, the launch of a ship is accompanied by a christening ceremony and the breaking of a bottle of champagne across the bow.

A nautical send off or farewell party in the tradition of "bon voyage", which means "good journey" creates a cheerful and happy tone for a potentially sad occasion. Whether your guest of honor is going away for vacation or permanently, frame your goodbye with the expectation that the separation is temporary, as in an extended voyage.
