Destination: Universe! is the second collection of science fiction short stories by A. E. van Vogt, published in hardcover by Pellegrini & Cudahy in 1952, and repeatedly reprinted in paperback, by three different publishers, over the next 25 years. The first British edition appeared in 1953, followed by several paperback reprints. A French translation, Destination Univers, was issued in 1973 and reprinted six times over the next 25 years. The collection has also been translated into the Swedish (1954, as Destination universum); into the Portuguese (1960, as Rumo ao Universo) and in Romanian (1994, as Destinația univers).
