February of 2023 will mark 50 golden years of Olivia. Let’s celebrate together with a group from PPMCC to travel together for this once in a lifetime opportunity. Olivia is planning the biggest celebration for their Golden L Anniversary. Not only does the L represent the Roman numeral for 50, but it also represents so much of what Olivia stands for: from lesbian to liberation to love!
Olivia will be staying close to home with a voyage in the Caribbean from February 19 – 26, 2023, featuring wonderful beach stops in Turks and Caicos, St Thomas / St John’s, San Juan, Puerto Rico and our own private island Half Moon Bay, Bahamas. While onboard The Holland America ms. Nieuw Amsterdam cruise ship, we will be dazzled by the very best of entertainers, comedians, and speakers. We will have parties and special events – plus lots of surprises to make this the most extraordinary, historic and unforgettable journey for everyone on board!
Do you remember where you were when you first heard about Olivia, took your first trip, or listened to your first record? And felt what it was like to be truly free as a lesbian or bisexual woman? Imagine what it would feel like as we step onboard this extraordinary cruise, knowing we are a part of something we all created together over the past 50 years – our history rooted in a time when women took control of their own lives. Whatever trials you have gone through, whatever triumphs you have made, this is a time we can all celebrate as one. Whether you are just discovering Olivia for the first time or found them in 1973, let’s celebrate the company and our lives together on Olivia’s Golden L Anniversary Cruise!
If you book now before November 1, 2021, you will save $500.00 per person off the early bird price and get a free 10-month payment plan. The first payment will be 10% of your total cost for the trip and 10% of the remaining balance for the next 10 months. This special payment option makes it very affordable for most women. Maybe you’re wondering what that price will include…. It will include accommodations for 8 days / 7 nights onboard, all meals including room service, gratuities, Olivia’s special 50th Anniversary entertainment and signature programming, and personalized Olivia staff assistance throughout your entire vacation.

I am organizing this travel opportunity for our church. Please call or text me, Julia Wedemeyer, at: (719) 205-0359 if you have any questions or want to discuss anything further about this trip. We will be putting together a roommate list for those traveling solo who don’t want the expense of paying for two tickets to have their own room.
Let’s make some magic happen together,
