Backstreet Boys Cruise is a series of cruise trips done semi-annually by the Backstreet Boys in conjunction with Rose Tours and Travel. The cruises are typically done in the off-months when they aren't touring. On the cruise, the group do special concerts, sometimes performing songs not seen during most tours. Besides special performances, there are also special events and games done on the cruises. As of 2021, it is unknown if they will have another one.
