Several of the explorers did not survive the terrible ______ across the desert.
A. excursion
B. journey
Note: I am trying to justify the why A is less preferred. Is it because an excursion shorter and rather unexpected whereas a journey is usually planned?Correction: *** an excursion is shorter***

A journey is a long trip and it is usually difficult.
An excursion is shorter and usually is done for fun.
