BACKSTREET BOYS TO PERFORM CONCERT CRUISE

The Backstreet Boys are following in the footsteps of New Kids On The Block - they've landed a gig to perform a concert cruise.

The Step by Step hitmakers put on a three-day boat trip around the Caribbean last May (09). The high seas thrill featured performances from the group and special meet-and-greet sessions for fans onboard.

And now the Backstreet Boys are cruising to treat their loyal followers to a similar trip.

The four-day trip will set sail from Florida on 9 December (10). It will include a show and themed parties.

A post on the band's website reads, "This is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that the boys will embark on and share with you, the fans.

"Some of the fun things on tap are: an intimate performance by the Backstreet Boys, Q&A, Photo Session, Deck Party and Beach Party. All events are hosted by the Boys."
