Princess Cruises sets Guinness World Records title for largest multi-location vow renewal

Love knows no limit on Valentine's Day ... unless you were one of the 1,433 couples this week setting the title for largest multi-location vow renewal.

Princess Cruises, the international premium cruise line known for its legacy of romance and co-starring role on the hit TV show “The Love Boat,” set the Guinness World Records title for the largest multi-location vow renewal on three of its Princess Cruises.

The record-breaking mass renewal of vows ceremonies took place simultaneously onboard the top decks of the Regal Princess, Royal Princess and Crown Princess on Feb. 11, 2020.

Three official Guinness World Records Adjudicators were on each ship to verify the record and watch as 1,443 couples reaffirmed their love for one another.

The previous record of 1,201 couples was set in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

"A record-setting accomplishment has to be measurable, verifiable and have a single superlative," said Michael Empric, Guinness World Records Adjudicator onboard Regal Princess. "It’s always exciting being a part of a new official record, especially when it’s aboard ‘The Love Boat.’ You could feel the excitement and love in the air from all of the couples participating in this monumental moment with Princess."

Celebrity officiants onboard Regal Princess sailing in the Caribbean included Gavin MacLeod, who portrayed the endearing Captain Stubing on "The Love Boat" with his television daughter, Jill Whelan, who played Vicki, serving as matron of honor.

For those couples sailing onboard the other two ships, the Royal Princess to Cabo San Lucas and Crown Princess, also in the Caribbean, the captains of each ship officiated the ceremony.

"For more than 20 years, Princess has hosted renewal of vows ceremonies, helping thousands of couples reconnect and celebrate their love for one another," said Gavin MacLeod, Princess Cruises ambassador. "This is the first time we attempted to break a Guinness World Records title so this particular milestone is extra special and it’s been amazing to hear from the guests who booked this cruise especially to become a part of history with Princess Cruises."

Princess has long been synonymous with romance, from being the first cruise line to have a wedding chapel with the unique option to have the ship’s Captain marry couples at sea to more recent awards for being the world’s “most romantic cruise line.”

Each year on Valentine’s Day, Princess ships hold mass renewal of vows ceremonies so couples can reaffirm their love to one another.
