The U.S.S. Enterprise’s next voyage will be closer to walking speed than warp speed.
The iconic starship will be featured as part of a Rose Parade float in celebration of the “Star Trek” franchise’s 60th anniversary. In an Instagram post Monday, the design was revealed for the “Space for Everybody” float with the Enterprise and its bridge, planets from the sci-fi franchise and a nod to Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park, a location north of Los Angeles used for several “Star Trek” shoots.
The float designed by artist John Ramirez will be built by Artistic Entertainment Services. It will travel at about 2.5 mph Jan. 1 along the 5 1/2-mile Tournament of Roses Parade route in Pasadena.
The 2026 parade theme is “The Magic in Teamwork.”
“Star Trek” actors will be position on the float, but it was not immediately clear who will be part of the parade.
The upcoming series “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” is set for Paramount+ streaming service release in early 2026. The New Year’s Day parade float also will feature a depiction of the new Starfleet Academy campus.
