Real-life married couple Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell will handle hosting duties on CBS’s new dating series The Real Love Boat. CBS is set to launch The Real Love Boat, inspired by the classic The Love Boat anthology series, on Wednesday, October 5, 2022.
“After years of consuming, arguing about and dissecting unscripted television, hosting a reality series where a group of singles look for love while aboard a Princess Cruise ship, seemed like a dream come true,” stated Romijn and O’Connell. “When we heard it was aboard The Real Love Boat, that dream got an iconic theme song – ‘we promise something for everyone.’”
The Real Love Boat will air on CBS as part of the network’s all-reality night. The new reality dating series will air in between Survivor at 8pm ET/PT and The Amazing Race at 10pm ET/PT.
CBS’s new dating show is executive produced by Chris Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Wes Dening, and Jay Bienstock. The Real Love Boat is produced by Eureka Productions in association with Buster Productions.
The Plot: “The Real Love Boat brings singles together to sail the Mediterranean on a luxury cruise ship while looking for love. Destination dates, challenges and surprise singles will test the couples’ compatibility and chemistry. Like the beloved original scripted series, the indispensable crew members, including captain and cruise director, will play pivotal roles in the matchmaking and navigation of the romantic (and sometimes turbulent) waters ahead.
After nearly one month at sea, one winning couple will dock in the final port and take home a cash prize plus a once-in-a-lifetime trip courtesy of Princess Cruises, the series’ exclusive cruise line partner.”
