The 60th birthday of the Star Trek universe will be celebrated in a special way—by sailing the high seas! In 2026, Star Trek: The Cruise will embark on its ninth iteration, honoring the venerable science fiction series that debuted in 1966. With a stellar ensemble that includes Star Trek veterans Walter Koenig (Ensign Pavel Chekov) and William Shatner (Captain Kirk), this special anniversary cruise promises to be an unforgettable week.
"We've planned a week of incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experiences to honor the 60th anniversary of Star Trek," said Chris Hearing, partner and executive director of theme cruises at Entertainment Cruise Productions, expressing the excitement behind this event. For fans, it is a dream come true to celebrate this milestone with Walter Koenig and William Shatner.

The week-long trip, which will set sail on Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas, will leave Port Canaveral in Orlando, Florida, on February 20, 2026. With a capacity of 3,807, the ship will transport passengers on an exciting journey to San Juan, Puerto Rico, Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, and Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's private Bahamas location.
