Get ready to set sail with 80s iconic boy band “New Kids on the Block.” TVGN is bringing a new series to TV this fall. “Rock This Boat: New Kids on the Block” will follow die-hard fans of the band—also known as “blockheads” as they take a five-day cruise that the band hosts every year. Cameras will be there for the first time to take viewers behind-the-scenes of New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) cruise which set sail this year on June 5th.
Multiple groups of fans will be featured during the series, including: a pair of Seattle-based sisters with a room back home devoted to their NKOTB memorabilia and who vow to do anything to get close to the band while on the cruise; an over the top Ohio mother leaving her husband and kids behind for some wild fun in the sun; an excited bride-to-be boarding the cruise with both her fiancé and bridesmaids in tow with the hopes of having her dream wedding officiated by Donnie Wahlberg; and a group of kilt-wearing Scotsmen who are looking forward to setting sail with a boat full of women.
Fans gets a chance to have a Throwback Thursday all weekend long with NKOTB on a cruise from NYC to Bermuda. The featured fans will be filmed at all hours, rocking out to NKOTB live performances and participating in the cruise’s many theme nights: The Masquerade Ball, Cowboy Up! Party, Night at the Movies and The GPS United Nations Party. The fans participating in the filming of the show will be followed by more than 50 members of the production crew, who will be capturing all of the antics and everlasting memories on-board.
New Kids on the Block, or NKOTB. is one of the best-selling bands in music history, boasting more than 80 million albums sold worldwide. The cruise has sold out five years in a row.
NKOTB band member Donnie Wahlberg serves as one of the show’s executive producers.
