Rock band 311 to headline another Carnival cruise (USA Today)

The rock band 311 will be heading out to sea again in 2012, this time on a cruise to the Bahamas.

Atlanta-based music cruise organizer Sixthman this week announced the chart-topping alternative rock group will be holding its second annual fan cruise next May on the 2,642-passenger Carnival Destiny. The four-night trip will kick off May 10 in Miami and include a call at a private island in the Bahamas.

The band's first fan cruise, a four-night trip to the Turks & Caicos, took place in March and was a sell-out success, Sixthman says.

In addition to holding two performances, 311 plans to host a Q&A session with fans on the upcoming voyage. In an unusual twist for fan cruises, the band also says it'll pose for a picture with every fan who wants one.

Details of the new sailing are online at 311cruise.com, and fans can begin signing up for spots on the ship this week, though formal bookings won't be taken until October. Fans who sailed with the band this year can formally book the new trip starting on Oct. 10; all other fans can book beginning Oct. 18.
