Golden Girls Fans at Sea cruise wants to “thank you for being a friend.”

Golden Girls Fans at Sea takes to the waves again during its fourth annual sailing specifically for followers of the ‘Golden Girls’ television show.

Flip Phone Events is “throwing a party and inviting everyone they know” with the “Golden Girls” fan celebration cruise, launching April 8, 2023 from Miami, Florida.

The recently refurbished Celebrity Summit cruise ship will depart Miami for a five-night voyage that includes stops in Key West, Fla. and Cozumel, Mexico.

During the party at sea, revelers can take part in “Golden Girls” themed trivia, hit the floor during dance parties, participate in bar crawls, listen to panel discussions, and more.

Those who would like to live their best “Golden Girls” life can even sign up for a costume contest.
