Destiny. Is it beyond our control? Or do we make our own? These questions and other musings about the past and the future set the tone as we sail into the year's most anticipated film about love and life. Six people are brought together on a seven-day cruise that will change their lives forever. A hopeless romantic searches for the right man for her, while dreaming of becoming a singer. A successful businessman searches for the truth about a woman from his past. A senior housekeeper finds out that it is never too late to find true love. A young waiter finds the woman of his dreams, but she is beyond his reach. A young brat finds out that love does not have to be as complicated as her love-hate relationship with her mother. And a sexy lounge singer searches for the perfect man who will keep his promises and who will never leave her.

While it takes you to three continents around the world (Asia, Africa, and Europe), it is nevertheless an intimate film about searching for love, following your dreams, and making your own destiny.
