This Star Trek star will host the show’s first-ever official cruise

To celebrate the franchise's 50th anniversary, William Shatner will host a Star Trek-inspired cruise along with some of his fellow actors.

14th Annual Official Star Trek Convention

William Shatner is boldly taking fans where no man has gone before … to Star Trek: The Cruise.

Captain Kirk will host this six-day voyage to celebrate the franchise’s 50th anniversary.

Though Shatner will be the host, other Star Trek actors will be aboard the ship as well, including Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes, Robert Picardo, James Darren, Denise Crosby, and John de Lancie. The actors are scheduled to participate in “unique activities” during the trip “with a focus on unconventional experiences like never before at any Star Trek event,” according to the cruise’s website.

They will be shipping out from Miami, Fla., on Jan. 9, 2016, aboard the Norwegian Pearl.
