How the clue works
The whole thing is an initial crossing, which a ship's first trip out certainly is. Take MAGE (a sorcerer) and let it welcome, or wrap around, a couple of items: AID (assistance) followed by ENVOY (diplomat). Slotting AID and ENVOY inside MAGE gives M-AID-ENVOY-AGE, which reads as MAIDEN VOYAGE.
