"Yeah a phrase coined by Phil Collen. Love it absolutely. Think it's just fantastic. You know very Pirates Of The Caribbean. Yeah you know the rock cruise is something that's kind of taken off over the last four or five years. And we were offered it many - actually at the very embryonic stages of the rock cruises we were offered one. But it was right in the middle of us doing other stuff so we couldn't do it. But having seen the success of bands like KISS and Motley Crue doing it. I mean it's perfect for them because it was called Motley Cruise - it just doesn't get any better than that."

"That'll be a similar kind of thing to Vegas because it's different for us. It would be a reason and an excuse for us to break from the norm. Obviously it's gonna be our more devoted fans who are gonna go to that. You know their not gonna be casual Def Leppard fans. So we have yet to determine exactly what we're gonna do on that. But I think I wouldn't be surprised if you see Ded Flatbird make a re-appearance in their sailor outfits. So it'll be interesting."

"The rock cruise thing's been on for ages. KISS did it last year. Motley have done it I think. It just seems to becoming part of the rock and roll kind of tradition now. It's not just regular touring, let's go and do it on a boat for four days. So it's something that we're really looking forward to."
