Gather your favourite gal pals and get ready for a sweet holiday [1]! Next year, a Golden Girls [2]-themed cruise will allow fans to sail the seas while reveling in an atmosphere reminiscent of the 1985 classic. The cruise — hosted by Minneapolis-based party promoters Flip Phone Events — will begin on Feb. 24, 2020, and leave from Miami before making stops at Key West and Cozumel, Mexico. It will then return on Feb. 29. A cabin will reportedly cost around $1,000 per guest and passengers will get to enjoy a "One Night in St. Olaf" dance party as well as a karaoke party.
Flip Phone Events has previously hosted gatherings based on the show and figured it was time to take things to another level with a cruise. "We are avid cruisers and die-hard Golden Girls fans," Flip Phone co-owner Chad Kampe told outlet Hornet. "After two successful Golden Girls bar crawls in Minneapolis — where we had over 1,100 people each time — I knew I wanted to create a new and unique experience for Golden Girls fans." Kampe then described even more of the activities people can expect [3], including a sail away party, a Golden Girls trivia session, and a costume contest.
The sitcom — which took place in Miami — ended in 1992, but it still has a dedicated fan base [4] that can never get enough of Dorothy (Bea Arthur), Blanche (Rue McClanahan), Rose (Betty White), and Sophia (Estelle Getty). Be sure to read more about the cruise [5] and start saving up now if you're hoping to ride the Golden Girls wave in 2020.
