September 19–22, 2025 | 3 Nights. 20 Women. 1 Incredible Adventure.
Booking closes June 17th—spots are going fast!
It’s happening. The first official Girl Trip is setting sail—and by sail, I mean we’re hopping aboard luxury houseboats with Le Boat Canada for three nights and four days of connection, conversation, and just the right amount of chaos on the Rideau Canal.
If you’ve ever said, “I need a weekend away with women who just get it,”—this trip is for you.
The Details
When: Friday, September 19 to Monday, September 22, 2025
Where: Rideau Canal, departing from Le Boat Basecamp
1 Jasper Ave, Smiths Falls, Ontario K7A 4B5
How many spots? Only 20 (yes, twenty!)
Boats: 3 luxury Le Boat vessels
Sleeping arrangements: Two women per private cabin, each with its own bathroom.
V-berths are roomy—perfect for besties who don’t mind spooning.
Prefer your own bed? There are “non-spooning” cabins too.
Solo? You’ll be paired up with a like-minded roommate. Want a cabin to yourself? No problem (just note you’ll pay the full cabin rate).
This Trip Is For You If:
- You’re a woman 45+ who’s ready to stop putting herself last
- You’ve been craving deep conversations, belly laughs, and fresh air
- You want a trip where *everything* is handled—you just show up
- You miss female friendship (yes, even the silly sleepover energy)
Sound like your vibe? You’re exactly who I planned this for.

Who This Is For
Women 45+, Gen X spirit with millennial energy. If you’re easygoing, up for a laugh, and not afraid to share space with great women—you’re in. If you get twitchy in groups, don’t love a little chaos, or hate the idea of communal wine… maybe pass on this one.
Cancellation Policy
I get it—life happens. But because I’m working with real partners (like Le Boat) and reserving limited spots, I do have a cancellation policy in place:
- 90+ days before departure: Refund minus a $75 admin fee
- 30–89 days before departure: 50% refund
- 0–29 days before departure: No refunds, sorry!
- Need to transfer your spot? You can transfer your booking to another guest for a $75 admin fee, up to September 1st, 2025 before departure. I’ll do my absolute best to help you find someone if I can. I want you to feel supported, not stuck.
👉 Travel insurance is strongly recommended. It protects you in case the unexpected happens—and helps keep things fair for everyone involved.
