First Look: The Real Love Boat on Network 10

Network 10 has released the first look at its new reality TV program The Real Love Boat, with the series coming soon to Channel 10 and 10 Play.

Based on the 1970s scripted series, The Love Boat, the new reality show has gathered Australian singles who are ready to set sail to some of the most romantic destinations in the world.

In March this year, CBS Studios - which owns The Love Boat IP - and Network 10 announced the series launch under the Paramount Global brand. In March, George Cheeks, president and chief executive officer of CBS, and head of global content strategy for Paramount’s free-to-air networks, including Network 10, said: “The Love Boat is a timeless, romantic concept with universal appeal, and we’re excited to reimagine this popular series for audiences in two different countries."

After a month on the ocean, only one couple will have the chance to make it to the final port. As the series’ exclusive line partner, Princess Cruises will award the winning couple with a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Beverley McGarvey, executive vice president and chief content officer of Paramount Australia and New Zealand, said: “The Love Boat was synonymous with exotic locations, glamour, excitement and of course, romantic connections underpinned by wonderful comic tales. The Real Love Boat will encompass all of this and more. A dating show showcasing suspense, exhilaration, humour and love as it sets sail for romantic adventures.”

Looking for love is never smooth sailing, the show lays bare the traverses of looking for love on the high seas.

John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises, said: “We look forward to millions coming aboard our iconic ships as we are expecting you on The Real Love Boat.”

The Real Love Boat will air later this year on Channel 10 and 10 Play.
