Themed cruises are a great way for super fans to celebrate their passions together.

Well, now Trekkies can boldly go where no cruise ship has gone before!

Star Trek: The Cruise launches in the beginning of 2017 on the Norwegian Pearl from Miami. The six-day Caribbean excursion is part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the sci-fi TV franchise.

Expect to see Star Trek stars beaming onto the ship, including Captain James T. Kirk himself.

Meanwhile, there’s another themed cruise on the Norwegian ship coming a bit sooner—this January—which will be invaded by zombies! It’s The Walker Stalker Cruise for fans of the hit show The Walking Dead.

Plus, if you’re a fan of cats, I have the prrrrrrrfect experience for you.

It’s called the Meow Meow Cruise—and it takes off next April, from Tampa, Florida, on the Carnival Paradise. You can celebrate your love of felines with themed activities, including scavenger hunts.
