 Star Trek: The Cruise V: Saturday, February 26 – Saturday, March 5

Given that all the staterooms are waitlisted, if you are going on Star Trek: The Cruise V, you are probably all set to go. But just in case, the cruise departs this Saturday and returns the following Saturday. Rather than list all the guests, let’s just say everybody will be there. All the info is at Star Trek: The Cruise V. (If you missed out this year, booking for next year has begun at Star Trek:The Cruise VI.)
