I found this phrase

> 約束リゾートへ! ベジータが家族旅行!

translated as

> Vegeta Goes on a Family Trip?!

I was wondering if here 旅行 is a verb or a noun. Is the literal translation of
this phrase "Vegeta goes on a family trip?" and the "goes" is assumed, is
"Vegeta (and) family travels?" or is the literal translation something
different to the former options?

question
grammar translation verbs nouns
ベジータが家族旅行! is 旅行 here a verb or a noun?
Titles (and advertisements) often employ 体言止め, i.e. ending a sentence with a
noun. The rules are flexible, but often the 体言 can be understood as the noun
of a する-verb and the almost superfluous する is omitted.

> オバマが来日

In ベジータが家族旅行, 旅行する is a common する-verb, and 家族旅行をする and 家族旅行する are all about
equally common (130→485, 116→478 in Google results). In any case, less
important than determining which verb could have been omitted in 体言止め is that
the sentence is clear without any verb.
