"We

it back in 2024 feels like it was meant to be, especially with the addition of
some surprise guests," said Jill Whelan, Celebrations Ambassador for
Princess Cruises. "Sailing with our fans brings us so much joy and this
cruise will undoubtedly be a special reunion, taking us back to where it all
began – on a Princess Cruise."
Super
fans may opt for a special Love Boat VIP Package, featuring an invitation
to an exclusive cast cocktail party, reserved seating for the cast Q&A in
the Princess Theater, front-of-the-line access for autographs and photos,

The
seven-day Canada/New England Love Boat theme cruise aboard the
3,660-guest Enchanted Princess sails roundtrip from New York City and
visits Newport, Rhode Island; Boston; Rockland, Maine; Saint
John, Canada (for Bay of Fundy); and Halifax, Canada.
The
Love Boat is credited with bringing cruising to the masses and showcasing
the romance of the sea, taking Hollywood's biggest stars to
sought-after destinations as story lines always ended on a happy note. In the
fall of 2022, Princess was featured again as the setting of The Real Love
Boat on CBS and Paramount+, reality dating adventure series where three
real-life Princess crew members and 12 singles looking for love joined
hosts Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell onboard Regal
Princess sailing through the Mediterranean.
