Cue The Love Boat theme song! Princess Cruises will attempt to host the largest renewal of vows ceremony at sea in hopes of setting a world record onboard a Valentine’s Day cruise in 2020.
Gavin MacLeod, who portrayed the endearing Captain Stubing in the long-running Love Boat series, will officiate and Jill Whelan, his television daughter Vicki, will serve as matron of honor hosting the ceremony on board Regal Princess, from Feb. 9-16, 2020. Sailing roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale, guest will visit Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, Cozumel and the cruise line’s romantic private beach, Princess Cays.
“I’m honored to be officiating this ceremony and can’t think of a better way to celebrate and commemorate a couple’s love, than by reaffirming their commitment to one another onboard the Love Boat over Valentine’s Day,” said MacLeod, who’s Princess Cruises’ ambassador.
The Love Boat aired for 10 seasons from 1977 to 1986, and the show is credited with sparking the growth of the cruise industry. Since then, Princess has been helping guests find and celebrate love every year.
Additional romantic touches to be offered on the cruise will be announced soon. Interested couples are encouraged to book now by contacting their travel advisor or by visiting the company’s website www.princess.com.
