Boldly Game!

August 28, 2026

Hey, cruisers!

If there’s one thing we’ve learned over six decades of Star Trek, and ten sailings of Star Trek: The Cruise, it’s that the Star Trek universe—and Star Trek fans—take gaming very seriously. From Kirk and Spock locked in a three-dimensional chess match on the Enterprise to the bustling dabo tables in Quark’s Bar on Deep Space Nine, playing games isn’t just a way to pass the stardate—it’s how we connect, test our wits, and build a community across star systems.

That spirit of friendly competition is alive and kicking every single night on the Cruise!

Whether you’re in a lounge for Trek Trivia or a deck-wide cryptic clue hunt, winning big on the poker table in the casino, or trying to keep a straight face during the interactive games I host like “Guess Who…,” “Nerdle (Wordle for Nerds),” “Bracket Challenges,” “Trek Libs,” and “Fun with Kirk and Spock,” I think some of the best cruise memories are made during these events. There is nothing quite like watching a room full of Starfleet officers, Klingons, and Ferengi fiercely debating the rank of the one officer who did that one thing on that one episode of Voyager.

Your passion for games is exactly why I am super excited to give you—my Star Trek: The Cruise fam—an exclusive peek at a project that’s just hit the shelves: Star Trek: The Ultimate Trivia Deck!

Designed for casual fans, seasoned pros, and everyone in between, the 400—yes, 400!—questions in this deck bring the exact same energetic, laugh-out-loud cruise game night energy right to your home table (or your stateroom balcony). Packed with deep cuts, classic character moments, and franchise-spanning questions, it’s the ultimate way to challenge your crew and train for our next sailing.
