Officials stated in a news release on Monday that Margaritaville at Sea has expanded its route to include the Gulf of Mexico by adding a new cruise ship to its fleet. The ship will set sail from Florida next summer.
Beginning on June 14, 2024, the ship, dubbed Margaritaville at Sea Islander, would depart from the Port of Tampa Bay and take passengers on four- and five-night excursions to well-known locations like Key West, Cozumel, and Progreso.
Online reservations for 2024 sailings are available at MargaritavilleAtSea.com. For a limited time only, Margaritaville is currently providing $50 per person deposits along with special preview rates.
The second cruise ship in the line is called the Islander. Currently sailing from Port of Palm Beach in South Florida, Margaritaville at Sea Paradise is the company’s first cruise ship and offers three-night Bahamas vacations to visitors.
“Since we launched our first ship, Margaritaville at Sea Paradise, last year, we’ve been working to expand what our guests have been asking for more amazing views, longer itineraries, and new ports of call,” Christopher Ivy, CEO of Margaritaville at Sea, said in a statement.
With more than 700 Breezy Balcony cabins, Grand Terrace Suites, opulent Corner Suites, and ultra-exclusive Islander suites for couples, families, and friends, Margaritaville at Sea Islander will cover 12 passenger decks and seat 2,650 guests.
It will have a 14-story atrium with three multi-story floating margarita glass chandeliers over the atrium bar, as well as the iconic flip flop of Margaritaville. The ship will also feature other well-known favorites like Frank and Lola’s Pizzeria, Margaritaville Coffee Shop, and Paradise Pickleball at Sea.
The cruise line also said it is redesigning its 1,100 staterooms to include “custom styling reminiscent of the sand, sea and sky and all new furnishings including Margaritaville’s signature bedding, pillows, and linens.”
