The 25th anniversary of Star Trek: Voyager
Star Trek: The Cruise IV will take place aboard Royal Caribbean Cruise’s Explorer of the Seas and will be slightly extended from earlier Star Trek Cruises as a part of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of Star Trek: Voyager which premiered in 1995 and concluded in 2001 following its seventh season.

The cruise will set sail from Miami (Florida, United Stares) and include stops in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), San Juan (Puerto Rico), St. Thomas and Grand Bahama Island between March 1 and 8 2020 and is expected to have a number of big names both from Voyager and Star Trek as a whole.

She’s a fine ship, this Explorer of the Seas…
"The fully chartered ship will be transformed into the ultimate Star Trek amusement park at sea, with one-of-a-kind nightly shows in the Main Theater, parties and panels in more intimate venues, and pub crawls, parades and costume parties on the Promenade. With more than a dozen bars, restaurants, clubs, lounges, a dazzling casino, tranquil spa and expansive pool deck, this ship is a destination of its own.– StarTrekTheCruise.com"

Returning characters and new faces..
While there seems to be a few common faces between the first three sailings, which is a pretty good indicator that the cast members are enjoying going out on these cruises, the cast seems to grow in both stature and size with each year. This being only the second time one of the Captains (Captain Sulu notwithstanding) has headlined the show.
Tickets for Star Trek: The Cruise III are still available, while tickets for the 2020 edition will go on sale to those on The Cruise III during the sailing and on January 14 2019 for the rest of us.
