The special cruise themed “The Love Boat,” proper for the following holiday that celebrates the iconic TV series will take place onboard the Majestic Princess, to celebrate the character of Captain Stubing, with a tribute to actor Gavin MacLeod. The host of this voyage will be Jill Whelan, the Princess Cruises Celebrations Ambassador, who plays the role of Vicki Stubing in the famous series “The Love Boat,” and the fellow cast members Cynthia Lauren Tewes, Bernie Kopell, Fred Grandy and Ted Lange.  

This will be a seven-day Mexican Riviera itinerary, departing from Los Angeles on Feb. 26, 2022. During this voyage is also MacLeod’s birth date, on 28th of February. It is in fact the same itinerary that was featured during the TV show, which lasted ten years, from 1977-1986. Princess cruise ships served as a co-star of the series. 

"Reuniting with the cast for this very special themed 'Love Boat' cruise and celebrating the show's lasting impact with guests is sure to be nostalgic, fun and incredibly memorable," said Jill Whelan, Celebrations Ambassador for Princess Cruises. "While we always love to connect with fans this cruise will be extra special because we will also celebrate the life and career of Gavin, our fearless leader, who not only played my dad on TV but was also a true father figure to me beyond the show."
