For superfans of the NBC sitcom Friends, your prayers may have been answered—a Friends-themed cruise is hitting the high seas in 2022.
If the Friends Reunion special wasn't enough to feed your love for the show, don't panic yet. A Friends-themed cruise is coming and is calling for superfans to get on board. The cruise will take place from May 15 to May 21, 2022, on the ship Equinox Celebrity. It will embark from Fort Lauderdale, stopping at ports in Key West, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel, Mexico.

• The UK's best nudist beaches for families and couples
• This pretty Italian village is selling houses for one euro each—don't miss out
• Wild camping in Scotland—everything you need to know
The experience was created by the travel agency Fana World Travel, which plans on rewarding around 500 Friends fans with this experimental experience. So what can fans expect from it? The Cruise with Friends website teases you to "Get ready to eat like Joey, joke like Chandler, cook like Monica, shop like Rachel, yoga like Phoebe, and dig like Ross." Supposedly, there will be activities including a themed costume contest, a trivia game, and more.
Be prepared to splurge though as fares for the cruise range anywhere from $1,648.66 for an inside stateroom to $3,048.66 for a Sky Suite with a balcony. Though that's not all, it also comes with unlimited surf wi-fi, a $150 shore excursion credit, and a premium beverage package.
Unlike the reunion special though, don't expect any surprise visits from the cast or a special rendition of Smelly Cat from Lady Gaga.
The Friends-themed cruise isn't the only experience aimed at superfans, in fact, this cruise joins a growing list of pop culture-themed cruises travel brands are creating.
