If you love love, if you love sexy singles, if you love glamorous European destinations, boy, does 10 have a show for you.
Where’s Bachie gone? No one knows. Instead, 10 is giving us a brand new dating show that’s essentially Love Island on a boat, and to be honest, we’re into it.
The Real Love Boat takes place aboard the Princess Cruises ship, Regal Princess, and will see our contestants travel the seas — visiting picturesque locations in Spain, Greece, France, Italy, Turkey and Montenegro along the way — as they search for a lasting love match.
One of the ladies looking for love on the Regal Princess is 25-year-old functions manager Courtney Justin, from Victoria.
In a press statement, Justin said she is looking for love, and long-lasting, solid commitment. She’s ready to throw the anchor down on a house, marriage, kids — the whole deal.

Although Justin is admittedly a little stubborn, she’s also kind, sensitive, a “big empath”, and always down for a good time.
When it comes to her celeb crush, Justin said she can’t go past Gerard Butler.
“Hooley dooley that man makes me weak at my knees,” she gushed — but will she find a man who lives up to that at sea? Justin hopes so, and knows she has a lot to offer a romantic partner.
“When the right partner comes along there is nothing I wouldn’t do to make them happy and feel appreciated,” she said. “I have love, kindness, support, loyalty, honesty, and great communication. I’m never judgemental, I have the best humour and I’m as silly and goofy as they come.”
When it comes to Justin’s vision of a dream date, she’s all about keeping things simple.
“My dream date could be casual and chill, such as going down to the pub, playing the pokies drinking a red wine,” she mused. “Or, it could be fun and flirty — so going out to a beautiful sexy restaurant with dim lighting, getting dressed up to the nines and eating fancy food.”
Hosted by Darren McMullen, The Real Love Boat also features Cruise Director Hannah Ferrier — who Bravo heads will recognise from Below Deck Mediterranean — as well as Head of Entertainment Daniel Doody, and Princess Cruises’ Captain Paolo Arrigo.
Will any of our singles find love and never let go? Or will it be a titanic disaster? Only time will tell.
The Real Love Boat airs at 8.30pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays, only on 10 and 10 Play on Demand.
