CBS's The Real Love Boat is all set to premiere with its first season on Wednesday, October 5. The upcoming reality TV series will feature 12 singles who come aboard the "Love Boat" to find love, take part in some competitions and complete some tasks in order to win.
Unlike the original series titled The Love Boat, which aired between 1977 and 1987, this reboot is unscripted. Participants will be tested based on compatibility and chemistry to see if they make a good match. The winners will be a lucky couple who manages to stand through it all.

What is the format for CBS' The Real Love Boat?
The reality dating show will introduce its viewers to a dozen singletons looking for love. They will be seen going on a luxury romantic cruise, where they will either pair up with a suitable partner, or leave without finding love.

"Inspired by the long-running scripted classic about vacationers aboard a luxury Princess Cruises ship, it’s full-steam ahead on CBS for The Real Love Boat. And it’s all about romance, chronicling the adventures of real-life singles brought together for a Mediterranean voyage in search of The One."
The synopsis continues to mention that if they manage to navigate the compatibility and chemistry challenges, one couple who remain till the end will win a massive cash prize and the ultimate luxury Princess Cruise.
