If you are a fan of the television show “The Love Boat” this Princess Cruise Line package is tailored just for you. The cruise line is offering an exclusive VIP package for its Love Boat themed cruise in August. The VIP package offers one-on-one interactions with some of the show’s most beloved characters–Doc, Gopher, Isaac and Vicki Stubbing.
From August 31 – September 7, 2024, fans are able to join Princess Cruises Celebrations Ambassador Jill Whelan (Vicki), along with her fellow “Love Boat” cast members Bernie Kopell (Doc), Fred Grandy (Gopher) and Ted Lange (Issac) aboard the Enchanted Princess. The 7-day round trip itinerary will embark from New York with ports of call in Boston, Massachusetts; Eastport, Maine; and Saint John and Halifax, Canada.
“After the tremendous outpouring of love on the first themed cruise, we knew we had to create an exclusive experience for our super fans on the upcoming voyage,” said Jill Whelan, Celebrations Ambassador for Princess Cruises. “My castmates and I are highly anticipating the upcoming cruise, where we’ll be able to spend more time with these passionate cruisers and fans and we can’t wait to hear how the show impacted their lives.”
The Love Boat VIP Package includes an exclusive cast cocktail party, reserved seating in the Princess Theater for a cast Q&A, first in line for the cast meet & greet, dinner with the cast, a commemorative Love Boat t-shirt and mug, and a ready-to-frame signed cast photo.
All guests are invited to enjoy a sailaway party introducing the cast, meet & greet photo ops, and a cocktail demonstration by Ted Lange and Ezra Freeman, who was the bartender from the recent “The Real Love Boat” reality dating show. Game show fans will want to take part in “The Love Boat” trivia with the Cruise Director, Jill Whelan and Ezra Freeman.
There will be specialty cocktails, Love Boat decor, photo backdrops, and merchandise. Cruisers can watch original “The Love Boat” episodes on Movies Under the Stars and in staterooms, and those wanting to profess their love (again) can take part in a symbolic renewal of vows ceremony officiated by Jill Whelan and the ship’s captain.
Fans sailing away on this Love Boat-themed cruise are sure to find “something for everyone” just as the show’s theme song promised every week for over 10 years.
