[[Leonard Nimoy]] as [[Spock]] delivered a slightly altered version of the full monologue at the end of ''[[Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan]]'', separate from the version used on ''The Next Generation''. In this version, the monologue describes the crew's mission as a search not just for new life, but for "new life''forms''". The first statement, "These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise" is also augmented as "These are the ''continuing'' voyages of the starship Enterprise"; the ship's "five-year mission" is consequently changed to the crew's "''ongoing'' mission". The complete monologue is:
{{quote|Space: the final frontier. These are the continuing voyages of the starship ''Enterprise''. Their ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new lifeforms and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before!}}

The final phrase is referenced in-universe as Kirk narrates his final captain's log at the conclusion of ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]]''; he notes that the next crew of the ''Enterprise'' will continue "boldly going where no man... where no one... has gone before", a change prompted by criticism from aliens earlier in the film of the crew's human-centrism. The neutral version of the final phrase had already been in use in the introductory speech for ''The Next Generation'', which debuted four years earlier.

The full monologue was once again spoken at the end of the ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' series finale, "[[These Are the Voyages...]]," by the captains of the three main starships ([[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|NCC-1701-D]], [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)|NCC-1701]], and [[Enterprise (NX-01)|NX-01]]) to bear the name ''Enterprise''; Patrick Stewart spoke the first two sentences, William Shatner the third and fourth, and [[Scott Bakula]] — as Captain [[Jonathan Archer]] — the final sentence. This version combines the phrases "Its continuing mission" (spoken by Stewart) and "where no man has gone before" (spoken by Bakula) into the same speech.

Versions of the full monologue were used at the end of each film in the ''Star Trek'' reboot trilogy; all use the more neutral final phrase. In the 2009 film ''[[Star Trek (2009 film)|Star Trek]]'', the monologue is spoken by Leonard Nimoy and uses his version from ''The Wrath of Khan'' with the word "continuing" removed. The monologue is used in-universe as part of a speech delivered by [[Chris Pine]]'s Kirk at the ''Enterprise''{{'}}s re-dedication ceremony in ''[[Star Trek Into Darkness]]''; the version spoken by William Shatner's Kirk is used, altered with "''Her'' five-year mission". ''[[Star Trek Beyond]]'' uses the same version from ''The Next Generation'', spoken by Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Bones, Sulu, Chekov, and Uhura.
