Margaritaville at Sea/Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line introduced a novel maritime experience with the launch of its flagship Margaritaville at Sea Islander/fka Costa Atlantica.
Commencing on June 14, 2024 (Maiden Voyage), the extensively refitted and refurbished vessel will start an year-round program based on homeporting in Tampa Bay (Florida USA). The 4- and 5-night Caribbean roundtrips visit Key West FL, and Mexico's Cozumel and Progreso.
Margaritaville at Sea's itinerary expansion caters to the Gulf of Mexico, complemented by two days at sea crafted to fully engage guests in Margaritaville's signature travel experiences.
Bookings for the ship's 2024 sailings are now open, accompanied by exclusive/limited preview incentives.
The 2650-passenger Margaritaville Islander has 12 floors/decks and 1109 staterooms.
Currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation in Cagliari (Sardinia Italy), the ship will redefine all its passenger accommodations with custom styling inspired by the sand, sea, and sky.
The redesign includes all-new furnishings such as Margaritaville's signature bedding, pillows, and linens. Featuring over 700 Breezy Balcony staterooms, Grand Terrace Suites, luxurious Corner Suites, and ultra-exclusive Islander suites, the ship provides ample opportunities for couples, families, and friends to savor breathtaking sunsets from their spacious balconies, caressed by the endless Gulf breezes.
The ship's highlights include a 14-deck Atrium adorned with a distinctive nautical theme and an Atrium Bar (at the Lobby level) boasting three multi-story floating margarita glass chandeliers. Exclusive attractions, like the one-of-a-kind three-story poolside LandShark Bar at Sea and a Margaritaville-inspired cornhole and mini-golf course, coexist with family-friendly spaces such as the Caribbean Amphibian Splash and Slide, and signature favorites like JWB Prime Steakhouse and Rita's Taco House. Sailing aboard the Margaritaville at Sea Islander promises a voyage of discovery, incorporating beloved features from the Palm Beach-based Margaritaville at Sea Paradise, such as Paradise Pickleball at Sea, Frank and Lola's Pizzeria, Margaritaville Coffee Shop, and Cheeseburger in Paradise, set amidst new and unforgettable spaces and experiences.
The inaugural sailing of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander is set for June 14, 2024, on a 4-night itinerary departing from Port Tampa Bay, Florida, featuring a stop in Cozumel, Mexico, and two delightful sea days.
