‘Viaggi’ is the plural noun; the correct singular form is ‘viaggio’.

Cultural Tip
In Italy, logistics companies (e.g., Poste Italiane, DHL, UPS) often use the expression ‘in viaggio’ in SMS or email notifications. It is a polite, slightly formal way to convey progress, so you’ll hear it more in business or customer‑service settings than in casual conversation.
