The Backstage View is accessed by clicking the File tab in the top left corner of the application, shown with the red highlight in the screen shot below.
This is where you manage voyages and their related information - opening and saving voyages, printing, and setting options.
Essentially, it allows you to do all those things that you do to a voyage that you don't do in the voyage.
The File tab replaces the Microsoft Office Button and the File menu used in earlier software applications.
