MAY 6, 2021 - Star Trek fans in the UK have reason to celebrate as Destination Star Trek, Europe’s Official Star Trek Convention, has finally confirmed its rescheduled dates for last year’s cancelled event in London, and they’ve brought along a little celebrity firepower to do it.

In an announcement posted Wednesday on their website and official Twitter page, the organizers of the convention said, “We are delighted to be able to say that with the positive news from the vaccine rollout and very low level of daily Covid infections, it's time to set course for Destination Star Trek London on 12th to 14th November, maximum warp!”

The news was paired with a video from Star Trek: Voyager’s EMH, Robert Picardo, who raised a glass (presumably of Romulan ale) and offered a toast in celebration of the announcement, adding, “We’ve waited a long time for this. Let’s all be there!”

According to the Destination Star Trek website, fans who attend the event in London will have a chance to see Jonathan del Arco, fresh off his return as fan-favorite ex-Borg Hugh in Star Trek: Picard, along with Kate Mulgrew, Robert Beltran, Jeri Ryan, and many more from the crew of Star Trek: Voyager. Additional guest announcements are on the way, according to the site.

Destination Star Trek has been hosting official franchise-related events in Europe since 2012, and describes itself as taking “the best elements of a convention and a signing event” to create a “weekend of Star Trek celebration.” It features photo shoots, autograph sessions, panels, and also a Star Trek Museum displaying props, costumes, and other items used to create the Star Trek universe on-screen.
