Voyages is a comedy of manners set on board a liner. Miles, a seasoned traveller, once again sets sail across the Atlantic, to be intrigued by his fellow passengers, not least an elegant, mysterious Countess recovering from illness, and a morose poet she is taking back to America with her after an unsuccessful trip to England. What are they doing with each other, and what do they want from Miles? While everyone he meets thinks Miles is a 'catch', he is determined to be free, a voyager, and remain at sea.
