Trekkies, your captain has arrived.

William Shatner, aka Captain James T. Kirk, will be hosting the first officially licensed Star Trek: The Cruise in 2017.

The voyage will mark the franchise’s 50th anniversary and is set to sail a six-night trip aboard the Norwegian Pearl out of PortMiami from Jan. 9-16, 2017, according to the cruise’s official website.

Shatner, who played Kirk from 1966 to 1994, says he’s excited about the enterprise.

"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," said Shatner on the cruise website. "It should be a lot of fun."

Other “Star Trek” alumni will be onboard along with Shatner, including “Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s” Commander Riker, Jonathan Frakes and his fellow “Next Generation” co-stars Marina Sirtis, John de Lancie, and Denise Crosby, as well as co-stars from “Voyager” and “Deep Space Nine”.
