Destination Star Trek was last in Germany in 2014. Boasting one of the largest fan-bases in the world, Germany has a special relationship with Star Trek and it was only natural that with a new series to celebrate that the event should come back to it’s mainland Europe home.

Destination Star Trek is a fully immersive experience where fans can meet their heroes from the show, have photos with them and get autographs, listen to their amazing stories and even step foot on the Bridge of the star ship Enterprise itself.
