An amazing thing about being on a vessel like that is that you can stand at bridge level and look around you to see about a 25-mile diameter circle of nothing but ocean. While underway, you'll see a completely different circle of ocean every hour. It seems like there's basically infinite ocean out there.
Then you look at a navigation chart, and realize you're traveling along this tiny line and there's soooooooooo much more ocean to either side that you can't see.
And you remember you're only looking at the top, there's a couple miles of it below you....
The ocean is astonishingly, incomprehensibly vast.
