Ironically the DS9 crew, aided by their numerous trips through the wormhole, covered several times greater distances throughout the series than either Enterprise or Voyager.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

Does it still count if you use a wormhole? That's like taking a shortcut and still saying you went the full distance.
I mean, wrap drive itself is kind of a cheat...
Aar Vulcans chatting with strength and resilience? Sisko was half wormhole alien and only could traverse those distances because of his relations.
Although the Enterprise in The Next Generation still takes the cake for nearly leaving the universe.
Voyager might also count if you include them jumping billions of years of time-distance thanks to Q meddling getting them tossed back and forth.
I haven't seen Voyager recently though to comment on that series, but you're right about STNG (I had forgotten about the Traveler). The Enterprise wins.
DS9 was so cool the unexplored came to them.
Enterprise: where have we gone??
I don't know, but it's been a long road...
Getting from there to... somewhere else.
I avoided DS9 for decades thinking it would have to suck. It didn't. I highly suggest a first play through of only Dominion War episodes. Then the characters grow on you. You wonder why anyone tolerates the mean Kai. So then you watch it in order.
Every series since TOS has always been a variation of "going where no one has gone before".
TNG started at Farpoint and initially was supposed to be exploring the unexplored.
DS9, while being a space station, was still located at the wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant, an unexplored region of space for Starfleet
VOY hit the other corner by being thrown into the far end of the Delta Quadrant
ENT was chosen to predate TOS so that would genuinely be where no one had gone yet.
To boldy go... nowhere
Actually a much better punchline
DS9: To boldy go where JMS was going, but legally distinct for copyright reasons.
No one*
Since they usually find aliens there, 'no man' makes more sense.
English has been using 'man' for all humanity for centuries.
Star Trek Discovery: ???
What are you talking about? Last thing I know was being approached by a sharp dressed gentleman...
I whish. And I also want the hours I wasted on that show returned to me.
They're going when no-one has gone before, clearly.
What if cinematic? What if action? What if diverse? What if goofy? What if old? What if young? Oh no. You cracked the secret!
TOS: Going to Boldly.
