Voyage is an Irish folk music album by Christy Moore. The album features songs of a political nature, however unlike Moore's past releases, the subjects aren't limited to Ireland specific issues. Sinéad O'Connor sings "Middle of the Island" with Moore.

Voyage was a French disco and pop/ funk group, consisting of André "Slim" Pezin ( guitar/vocals), Marc Chantereau ( keyboards/vocals), Pierre-Alain Dahan ( drums/vocals) and Sauveur Mallia ( bass), together with British lead vocalist Sylvia Mason-James, who sang on the group's first two albums, Voyage (1977) and Let's Fly Away (1978).

For their next two albums, Pierre-Alain Dahan became the lead vocalist on Voyage 3 (1980) and on One Step Higher (1982), and the group's sound changed from disco to funk/pop.

Before Voyage, the four members, Pezin, Chantereau, Dahan and Mallia worked together in a band called V.I.P. Connection in 1975 with two disco songs: "Please Love Me Again" and "West Coast Drive", songs known by the collectors or/and the amateurs of the beginning of disco music.

It is the same pool of musicians, already known as good musicians in recording studios or in live performances in France, in particular by their works with the artists like: Manu Dibango, Cerrone, Alec R. Costandinos & the Synchophonic Orchestra, Michel Sardou for Slim Pezin; Michel Legrand, Jean Musy, Cerrone, Bernard Lavilliers for Sauveur Mallia; Léo Ferré, Michel Delpech, Guy Béart or Johnny Hallyday for Marc Chantereau; Nino Ferrer, Jean-Claude Petit, Stéphane Grappelli and more for Pierre-Alain Dahan.

Between the end of 1960s until the mid 1970s, they have become experienced and requested musicians in France, Europe and worldwide, in all different style of musics, jazz with Grappelli, French chanson with Ferré, world music and jazz with Dibango, rock with Hallyday, French pop with Sardou and Delpech.

Their lone Billboard Hot 100 entry was "Souvenirs," which hit No. 41 in 1979. They had more success on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart, where two of their albums, Voyage ( 1978) and Fly Away ( 1979), hit number one.

In the UK, the group had three chart singles. A double A-side, "From East To West"/"Scotch Machine" (the latter song retitled "Scots Machine" because the term "Scotch" is generally considered offensive in Scotland) reached No. 13 in 1978, while later that same year "Souvenirs" made No. 56. Also popular was the song "Lady America". Their last impact on the charts came in 1979 when "Let's Fly Away" peaked at number thirty-eight.

In their origin country, France, it was a success in the nightclubs of Paris, with a wide broadcasting on the French radios and a reasonable presence on television to promote their songs, they ranked only three singles, "From East To West" peaked at #20 in May 26, 1978, then "Souvenirs" peaked at No. 53 in January 12, 1979 and "Tahiti - Tahiti" peaked at No. 43 on May 5, 1979. However, the four musicians have failed to create the same success in the United States in their French record sales. In spite of the quality of their albums, they did not chart their songs, "I Don't Want To Fall In Love Again" in 1980 or "Let's Get Started" in 1982. The four musicians kept on to make albums with a sound more funky than disco, disco music fallen into disuse in the meantime, a musical production always well developed, musically well structured, giving up the concept of the beginning (1977-1978) with all the musics of different places in the world and while keeping the Shakespeare's language, which is the means of communication most effective in the world to express for the largest number of people their music during the last two albums, a French production similar with the best American musical production.

After Voyage, all the members continued to work discreetly as solo musicians recording studio in France for many French singers, Françoise Hardy, Alain Chamfort, Mylène Farmer, Guesch Patti, Jean-Louis Murat and more, always in different style of music or in the writing, the arrangements and the productions, for example Slim worked for the French movie soundtrack called Betty Blue in 1986 or he was the producer of a French hit "Caressé Mwen" sung by Marijosé Alie in 1987. Sauveur Mallia worked for several musics movies soundtracks like Moonstruck with Cher in 1987, Breakfast of Champions with Bruce Willis in 1999 and many more projects, ditto for Chantereau and Dahan with several musical projects.

Voyage is the 1977 self-titled debut album by French disco group, Voyage. The songs on the album paid a nodding homage to musical styles of different regions of the world, as if the band and its listeners were taking a jet set trip around the world, finally landing triumphantly in America, as if it were the center of the disco universe, with the song Lady America.

As was the case with a number of disco albums during the 1970s, all cuts of Voyage's debut release made it to number one on the disco chart. In Voyage's case, they went to number one on the disco chart with their debut release for three weeks. Although no cuts made the US pop singles chart, the single "From East to West" peaked at number eighty-five on the soul singles chart. Overseas, "From East to West went to number 13 on the UK Singles Chart.

Voyage , is a 2013 film by the acclaimed Hong Kong film-maker Scud, the production crediting name of Danny Cheng Wan-Cheung. It is described as "a tragic story about love, fate and the struggle of losing loved ones", and received its world premiere on 20 October 2013 at the Chicago International Film Festival. It was filmed in Hong Kong, Mongolia, Malaysia, Australia, Germany and Holland, and is the director's first film partially made outside Asia, and also his first to be filmed mostly in the English language. It explores several themes traditionally regarded as 'taboo' in Hong Kong society in an unusually open, convention-defying way, and features full-frontal male nudity in several scenes. It is the fifth of Scud's five publicly-released films. The four earlier films by Scud are: City Without Baseball, released in 2008, Permanent Residence in 2009, Amphetamine in 2010 and Love Actually... Sucks! in 2011. His sixth film, Utopians, has now been completed and awaits release, whilst his seventh, Naked Nation, is currently in production.

Voyage is a 1986 jazz album by American saxophonist Stan Getz. Getz found to be perfectly accompanying with pianist Kenny Barron, who consistently played with his group for his last five years of career, bassist George Mraz, and drummer Victor Lewis. This album was released at the late time of his career, and Getz once again proved that he is able to display hip and contemporary feeling through his saxophone playing. As Stan Getz and Kenny Barron accompanied to each other for the last decade of their careers, they stick out exceptionally during their solo parts, while creating harmonious ensemble overall. The style of Voyage is very versatile, from Cool Jazz to Post-Bop.
