Vessel needed twice for the return journey (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

urn

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'vessel' is the definition.
(urn is a kind of vessel)

'twice for the return journey' is the wordplay.
'URN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

'needed' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for urn that I've seen before include "Ornamental vessel" , "Large ornamental vase" , "a large vase as for cremation ashes" , "A ceremonial vase as for human ashes" , "A large vase, perhaps for holding ashes" .)
