What’s the name of the cruise ship from The Love Boat?
There’s something about The Love Boat that perfectly captures the transition from the 1970s to the ‘80s. The theme song, the guest stars, the storylines, the laugh track — from its premiere in 1977 until it finally docked into port in 1986, Love Boat was prime Saturday night viewing for nearly a full decade.
It’s a deceptively simple concept: Just put some characters on a cruise ship, have lots of guest stars, and call it a day. But it was also a wildly successful one, with the show enjoying high ratings up until its final season. I guess something about the transition into the late ‘80s just didn’t fit anymore — I know it sure as hell wasn’t Your Bartender’s fault…
The crux of The Love Boat lies in the boat itself, which served as both setting and primary plot gimmick. What is that cruise ship called?

Correct Answer: Pacific Princess
The answer is: Pacific Princess. The MS Pacific Princess was a real boat owned and operated by Princess Cruises from 1975 to 2002. It was also the setting for the romantic-comedy-drama series, The Love Boat. Filming was sometimes completed on the boat itself for exterior shots (or its sister ship, the Island Princess), but most of the time they used sets, as I imagine filming an entire TV show on a cruise ship for nine seasons and several TV movies would have been a logistical nightmare.Source
