She 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, passed hors d’oeuvres, taco bar, great music, a dance floor, prizes, 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.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Your ticket includes a taco bar loaded with all the fixings, passed hors d’oeuvres, a DJ spinning the GenX hits you actually want to dance to, a proper dance floor, prizes, swag, and three hours on the beautiful Ottawa River with your people. The cash bar is on board and ready for you — I suggest arriving thirsty.
WHAT TO WEAR
Channel your inner Mrs. Roper. Think kaftans, bold florals, oversized sunglasses, chunky jewellery, and if you really want to commit, an orange wig. There will be a best dressed prize so bring your A game. No costume? No problem. Come as you are and absorb the energy.

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.
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.
Google her immediately or read about it here, and then buy a ticket. You’re welcome.
Passed hors d’oeuvres, taco bar, music, and prizes. Drinks are available for purchase at the cash bar on board.
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!
Stanleys, Jacks, and Larrys are absolutely welcome — if accompanied by a Helen. This is a celebration of women having the time of their lives, not a dating event. Come to cheer us on, not chat us up.
