- For the music album by Mike Oldfield, see Voyager (album).
Voyageur is an album created by the musical project Enigma. It is Enigma's fifth album and released in 2003.
Due to Enigma's drastic changes as compared to their previous four albums, Voyageur was considered to be Enigma's most different album ever created. The project's signature shakuhachi flutes, Gregorian chants and tribal chants found on the earlier albums were completely gone on Voyageur. Instead most of the songs found on the album were more pop-oriented, such as "Voyageur", "Incognito", "Boum-Boum" and "Look of Today". In fact, Michael Cretu, the producer of Enigma described Voyageur's genre as "sophisticated pop".
This album has been released with the Copy Control protection system in some regions.

[edit] Miscellanea
- Before the title of Voyageur was first announced, it was rumoured that the name of the album would be "Incognito".
- The chorus to Enigma's first hit, "Sadeness (Part I)" from MCMXC a.D., can be heard in the middle of "Incognito" at 2"05' and 2"19' .
[edit] Album editions
Voyageur was released on the compact disc and cassette formats, while the CD cover art (done by Johann Zambryski) has two different versions:
- A "special package" edition with a transparent CD cover, with the album art printed on the inside of the CD case and partly on the CD itself, and a ring-shaped booklet placed under the CD;
- A normal version with full paper inserts (which can be harder to find compared to the "special package" edition).
