After finishing DW2, the time came to decide which route to take home...
The DW2 organisation team started a survey to determine which of the return routes was the most popular. The explorers voted for a route parallel to that of DW2 with a detour to Colonia.
The Voyager route was voted second, so it was only logical to offer an expedition for this route as well.
After some research in this forum and some other Elite Dangerous and Star Trek Voyager pages I found out that there are two main routes entered in EDSM or the Frontier Forum.
An incredibly detailed elaboration of the Voyager route can be found here:

Dr. Nagi transferred the main waypoints to EDSM:

Erimus Kamzel of the DW2 team also planned a way back for the DW2 participants using these waypoints and added a kind of sightseeing tour:

Since these two routes differed a little in detail, (BLUE: Dr. Nagi via EDSM, GREEN: Erimus Kamzel's) it was decided to use the already prepared route of Erimus Kamzel as an expedition route in 4 stages.

Shortly before the launch on May 19th, everything was ready and that leads us to the actual route:
The Voyage Home will not be as much organized as DW2. The chosen way of communication is via the DW2 PS4 Chat-Groups or In-Game. Of course, as some of us are still connected via FleetCom or IPX-Discord, this way to communicate is still available, and there is an extra "Voyage-Home" Discord Sub-Channel in the IPX-Discord.
The expedition will take place in the AllCrowsAreBlack private group on PS4. This way, we can stay in touch with all the other CMDRs, that chose to take a different routes towards the bubble and keep our friendly bonds.
We are trying to establish a weekly progress of about 5kly but there are no scheduled Meet-Ups.
The official launch was on May 19th 3005 at 19:00 UTC from from the Distant Worlds basecamp on Beagle Point body 2 A. However, CMDRs may set off at any time and are welcome to follow the route on a schedule to suit their personal priorities.
CMDRs on other platforms are of course welcome to follow the route and are advised to use the FleetComm or Mobius Private Groups.
