If you watch “The Golden Bachelorette,” you may notice a familiar cruise ship serving as the backdrop for Joan Vassos’ quest to find love: Windstar Cruises’ Star Breeze.

Windstar Cruises, as well as the French Polynesia flag carrier Air Tahiti Nui, are now part of Vassos’ journey on the ABC show.

While filming the show, Vassos and her suitors flew to French Polynesia with Air Tahiti Nui. Then, Vassos stayed aboard Star Breeze in Bora Bora and Moorea. The episodes will air on ABC on October 30 and November 13, with streaming on Hulu available the next day.

Vassos was previously a contestant on “The Golden Bachelor,” but had to leave the show because of a family medical issue. She is a mother of four and a grandmother of three, as well as a school administrator.
