A warmly optimistic, episodic romantic comedy where a cruise ship's crew facilitates meet-cutes and love stories for a rotating cast of passengers, resetting each week with the promise that love always wins.
Passengers who search for romantic nights aboard a beautiful ship travelling to tropical or mysterious countries, decide to pass their vacation aboard the "Love Boat", where Gopher, Dr. Bricker, Isaac, Julie, and Captain Stubing try their best to please them, and sometimes help them fall in love. Things are not always so easy, but in the end, love wins.
