12 singles are set to board a Princess Cruises ship hoping to make a love connection on season one of CBS’s The Real Love Boat. Real-life couple Jerry O’Connell and Rebecca Romijn play host to the first batch of participants as they embark on a cruise to ports including Rome, Athens, and Barcelona.
O’Connell and Romijn also sing the original Love Boat‘s iconic theme song for the dating competition’s opening credits.
Season one will feature Captain Paolo Arrigo, bartender Ezra Freeman, and cruise director Matt Mitcham. The three crew members have more than 40 years of combined experience working in the cruise industry and will use their expertise to help guide the singles’ adventures.
The Real Love Boat premieres on Wednesday, October 5, 2022. New season one episodes air on Wednesdays at 9pm ET/PT after Survivor and before The Amazing Race.
The Season 1 Plot and 12 Singles:
Singles experienced in the ups and downs of romance come together on THE REAL LOVE BOAT to find a true love connection while visiting and competing in some of the world’s most beautiful cities, including Barcelona, Marseille, Rome, Santorini, Athens and more. A shoe designer, firefighter, nurse, teacher and landscape architect are among the men and women setting sail on the romantic adventure. From divorce and broken engagements to terrible online dating experiences, being unlucky in love has not discouraged these Singles from seeking true romance.
Throughout the season, Singles embark on destination dates and compete in challenges to test couples’ compatibility and chemistry, while earning valuable rewards. The romantic waters will be tested when new Singles come aboard, and those who don’t find a match will “Shove Off” and be left behind at port. 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.
