we are traveling on a ship
we are traveling by ship
You can also say "in a ship" but this makes me think you are stuck below deck or something.

@damlayldz "in a ship" is incorrect ❌
"on a ship" is used when you're already on board and sailed. ✔️
"by a ship" when you want to mention the mean of transportation (it's not by plane, bus or car). ✔️
