🎟 Tickets: https://simpli.events/e/roper-on-the-riverMrs. Roper didn't care what anyone thought. She showed up in a kaftan and owned every room she walked into. This August, we're all Mrs. Roper.
Join Girl Trips for an unforgettable three hour cruise on the Ottawa River aboard the Ottawa River Queen. Think bold prints, oversized sunglasses, chunky beads, and a boatload of women who know how to have a good time.
This is not a quiet boat cruise. This is a statement.
***What's the statement? That we are far past caring what people think of us and we're up for a good party -- as long as we can be in bed by 10***.
Stanleys, Jacks, and Larrys are welcome if accompanied by a Helen.

**FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS**
Is this event for all ages? Roper on the River is a 19+ event designed with women 40 and up in mind. Younger women are welcome but fair warning -- GenX women on a boat with a cash bar and a DJ set the bar pretty high.
Do I have to dress up? Absolutely not. A costume is encouraged and there is a best dressed prize for those who go all out, but you're welcome exactly as you are.
What if I don't know who Mrs. Roper is? Google her immediately and then buy a ticket. You're welcome.
What's included in my ticket? A taco bar, passed hors d'oeuvres, a DJ spinning your favourite GenX hits, a dance floor, prizes, swag, and three hours on the Ottawa River with your people. Drinks are available for purchase at the cash bar on board.
Where do we depart from? The Ottawa River Queen departs from Hull Marina Dock, 160 Laurier, Gatineau. Paid parking is available on-site. Please arrive by 6:30 PM -- we depart at 7:00 PM sharp and we can't wait for stragglers. Don't be the one left on the dock!
What if there's bad weather? Roper on the River is a rain or shine event. The Ottawa River Queen is a covered vessel so a little rain won't stop the party. In the rare event of severe weather preventing departure, the event will take place at the dock and we'll set sail as soon as conditions are safe. In 10 years this has only happened a handful of times -- the show goes on!
What is your refund policy? All ticket sales are final and non-refundable. However tickets are transferable -- if you can't make it you're welcome to pass your ticket along to another lucky woman. Just email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) to let me know.
I have more questions! Email [[email protected]]and I'll get back to you quickly.
