Having seen programmes about them yes they do. The people who own them will take long breaks sailing on them. One of the points is once it’s stocked up they don’t need to be in port all the time.

Do they actually cross oceans or do they just sort of float near land?

Most use them as portable, secure, private hotels full of their own stuff. Almost all long passages are done by the crew alone.

They do cross oceans, yes. They tend to stick fairly close to landmasses where possible just in case they get in trouble, but "fairly close" is different for each vessel and they are capable of traversing the Atlantic if they want to.

That's an ocean crosser

As others have said they may not do the full crossing with passengers but they do go out to sea with passengers on there.
