Definition
晕船 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to get seasick' — specifically from being on a boat (船). The verb 晕 separates from the object 船 when you add aspect markers, complements, or measure words: 晕了船 ('got seasick'), 晕过船 ('have been seasick before'). You cannot add another object because 船 is already the object; to introduce the cause, say 坐船晕船.
v.o.
