| William Shatner will play captain one last time on Star Trek: The Cruise |
TREKKIE HEAVEN: William Shatner is at the helm of the first ever official Star Trek six-day cruise, sailing from Miami in January 2017.
Boldly going where no cruise ship has gone before, luxury liner the Norwegian Pearl will set sail on a Star Trek-themed voyage to Mexico and the Bahamas.
Shatner is the star guest onboard the six-day trip, and revealed his joy with typical modesty.
“I am excited to be the host of Star Trek: The Cruise,” says Shatner.
“When I was told that this was the first authorized Star Trek cruise and part of the 50th anniversary celebration, I just knew that my participation would be something that our fans would enjoy.
"It should be a lot of fun.”
