The Sims 2: Bon Voyage is an expansion pack for the 2004 life simulation video game The Sims 2, developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. The sixth expansion pack for the game, it was released 4 September 2007. Bon Voyage adds the ability to book in-game holiday travel to one of three pre-defined destinations, broadly themed around the Far East, Polynesia, and a generic mountainous region respectively. Each destination has its own unique culture, activities, and attractions. Other features of Bon Voyage include its expansion of the in-game inventory function, a number of new items and interactions, and its soundtrack, featuring Bob Marley's son Damian Marley.
Upon release, Bon Voyage received mixed reviews; it faced criticism for serious software bugs and incompatibility with existing game mods. The expansion pack's themes were reused for later expansions for The Sims 3 and The Sims 4. Bon Voyage's use of the SecuROM system of copy protection and digital rights management drew controversy, including lawsuits brought against its publisher Electronic Arts.
