In the show, Alisa and the other singles will sail “together to travel the Mediterranean on a luxury cruise ship while looking for love.” The contestants will get a chance to go on destination dates and will have to face various challenges to test their compatibility and chemistry with their partners.

The indispensable crew members, including the "captain" and "cruise director," who will be selected from among the Princess crew members, will also help in the matchmaking process. They will lend a helping hand as they aid the singles in navigating the romantic (and sometimes turbulent) waters ahead.
