Margaritaville Paradise

The 1991-built cruise ship Margaritaville At Sea Paradise (MAS Paradise, formerly "Grand Classica", originally "Costa Classica") was operated as "Costa neoClassica" between 2014 and 2018. In April 2018, neoClassica was renamed "Grand Classica" and joined the fleet of the Florida-based Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line. Until 2020, the company’s fleet consisted of two vessels — Grand Classica and Grand Celebration (1987-built, scrapped in 2020). In 2023, the fleet expanded with a second ship, the 2000-built Costa Atlantica/MAS Islander.

The vessel (IMO number 8716502) is currently Bahamas-flagged (MMSI 311000969) and registered in Nassau.

In December 2021, Margaritaville Resorts & Hotels (Florida-based hospitality group) announced a partnership with Bahamas Paradise to launch the new cruise brand “Margaritaville at Sea.” The brand’s inauguration was scheduled for May 13, 2022, with the Maiden Voyage of Margaritaville Paradise. The renamed Grand Classica began service for Margaritaville at Sea following an extensive wetdock refit at Grand Bahama Shipyard (Freeport).

• Margaritaville Cruise Line plans to expand its fleet in the coming years, with Margaritaville Paradise as the first vessel.
• The long-term ship charter was signed by John Cohlan (Margaritaville CEO) and Oneil Khosa (Bahamas Paradise CEO, also serving as Margaritaville Cruise Line’s CEO).
• The shipowner remains Paradise Cruise Line Operator Ltd.

Margaritaville Paradise continues to operate the regular 2-night cruise schedule between Palm Beach and Freeport, restarting service on May 10, 2022.

History – construction and ownership

In 2018, Grand Classica joined Grand Celebration as the fleet’s second vessel. In 2017, the shipowner Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line signed a 3-year agreement with The Bahamas (valid until 2020) to deploy both ships (Celebration and Classica) on 2-night roundtrip Florida–Bahamas itineraries to Grand Bahama Island (Freeport). Combined, both vessels offered an annual passenger capacity exceeding 500,000.

On August 2, 2017, Costa Cruises announced that neoClassica would leave the fleet in March 2018. Her final Costa voyage was scheduled for March 4, 2018 (a 7-day “India and Maldives” itinerary from Mumbai, India to Malé, Maldives). Last refurbished in 2014, neoClassica was Costa’s oldest vessel. The decision followed Costa’s order for four new ships scheduled for delivery between 2019 and 2022. These new vessels measure 183,000 GT, have over 2,600 cabins, and a maximum capacity of approximately 6,600 passengers.

The 1,680-passenger Grand Classica was inaugurated in 1991. A proposed ship-stretching project in 1999 was abandoned in favor of a USD 20 million refit in 2000.

The ship features an impressive onboard art collection of sculptures, original paintings, murals, and handcrafted artworks.

Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line announced the vessel’s purchase from Carnival Corporation (Costa’s parent company) on December 13, 2017. The 2017 drydock refurbishment (October) also included upgrades requested by the new owner, Paradise Cruise Line Operator Ltd.

On December 4, 2023, the company confirmed the addition of a second ship, the Costa Atlantica/Margaritaville Islander, to operate Caribbean voyages roundtrip from Tampa, Florida.

Decks and Cabins

Margaritaville Paradise has 13 decks (10 passenger-accessible, 5 with cabins) and a total of 658 staterooms in 5 categories. These include 12 Suites (Balcony and Junior), 430 Oceanview cabins, and 216 Inside cabins. Costa neoClassica also had 10 single cabins. Only the Suites feature private step-out balconies.

All public areas are located on Decks 8–14. The largest accommodations are the Grand Terrace Suites (525 ft² / 49 m², with 150 ft² / 14 m² balconies).

Originally, Grand Classica’s decks were named after Italian Riviera cities. After the acquisition, the floors were renamed after Bahamian islands.

Shipboard facilities and amenities

The large ship features various lounges and bars, a casino, live entertainment venues, wellness facilities (spa, gym, and salon), and two swimming pools.

In January 2023, Margaritaville at Sea partnered with Tipsy Scoop (NYC-based ice cream shop specializing in liquor-infused flavors). Guests can now enjoy five Tipsy Scoop boozy ice creams, including two exclusive flavors: Blue Margarita Sorbet (with Margaritaville Silver Tequila) and Bahama Mama Ice Cream (with Margaritaville Coconut Rum).

In 2025, MAS Paradise introduced new onboard experiences, upgraded dining, and enhanced amenities. Additions included the Hemisphere Dancer Craft Spirits piano bar (serving signature cocktails), Far Side Sushi (specialty restaurant offering sushi rolls, rice and ramen bowls), Frank & Lola’s Pizzeria (part of the Lido Buffet), and upgraded poolside bars — License to Chill and 12 Volt Bar (with new menus, ping-pong tables, and billiards).

Margaritaville at Sea itineraries

Like Grand Classica, Margaritaville Paradise offers exclusive Bahamas cruises roundtrip from Florida.

In August 2017, the Port Palm Beach District Commission signed a 10-year agreement for the former Costa neoClassica to operate the Florida–Bahamas route West Palm Beach–Freeport. The liner maintains a regular schedule of 3-day/2-night cruises between Palm Beach and Freeport.

Previously, Costa neoClassica operated roundtrips from Dubai and Mediterranean voyages from homeports such as Barcelona, Savona, and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Departing August 17, 2019, from Port Palm Beach, the ship operated Bahamas Paradise’s first-ever Panama Canal transition cruise. The 9-night voyage called at Key West (Florida), Grand Cayman, and the Panama Canal, ending in Puerto Caldera/Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Prices started at USD 500 per person (double occupancy, inside cabin). Early-booking discounts (before May 31, 2019) offered reduced fares for 3rd and 4th guests (USD 300 pp).

After the 2020–2021 Coronavirus shutdown, Grand Classica was scheduled to be the first large cruise ship to resume US-based operations. The first post-COVID voyage (Palm Beach–Freeport) was set for July 2, 2021, but later rescheduled to July 8. In August, the vessel was chartered by “Entergy New Orleans” to accommodate relief workers in Port NOLA (New Orleans) following Hurricane Ida.

The renamed Margaritaville Paradise inaugurated the Margaritaville at Sea brand with her Maiden Voyage departing Palm Beach on May 13, 2022 (rescheduled from April 30).

On August 28, 2024, bookings opened for a new 4-night itinerary on MAS Paradise visiting Grand Bahama and Nassau, with one sea day. Beginning in January 2025, Margaritaville Paradise will offer 2-, 3-, and 4-night roundtrips from Palm Beach to Nassau, complementing existing Grand Bahama routes.

Ultimate Paradise Pass

In March 2023, Margaritaville at Sea launched the industry’s first seasonal pass — the “Ultimate Paradise Pass.” It allows holders to embark on an unlimited number of non-consecutive 2-night Bahamas cruises (Freeport) roundtrip from Palm Beach aboard Margaritaville Paradise.

Prices started at USD 899 per person (based on double occupancy), excluding taxes, fees, and port charges due at booking.

“Ultimate Paradise Pass” cruises can be reserved 24–72 hours in advance, with limited blackout dates. Passes expired on December 31, 2023.

In addition to unlimited Florida–Bahamas roundtrips, the pass includes onboard perks such as welcome amenities, behind-the-scenes access, and exclusive previews of new activities (on select voyages). Pass holders also enjoy a 10% discount on shore excursions, upgrades, and packages.

When serving Costa Cruises, the ship (Costa Classica) was christened by godmother Emilia Costa (born 1967, Italian actress). For the Margaritaville cruise line, Margaritaville Paradise was christened by Shaquem Alphonso Griffin (born 1995, American NFL football player and linebacker).

Margaritaville’s naming ceremony was held on May 13, 2022, at Port Palm Beach. The event was attended by Margaritaville at Sea executives (John Cohlan/CEO, Oneil Khosa/COO, Kevin Sheehan Jr./President) and numerous VIP guests, including company partners and travel agents. The Maiden Voyage of Margaritaville departed Palm Beach on May 14. The special sailing to Freeport featured a live concert by Jimmy Buffett (James William Buffett, 1946-born American musician, singer, songwriter, author, actor, and businessman).

Grand Classica joined the Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line fleet on April 13, 2018 (Friday), when she docked at Port Palm Beach. The 2017 drydock refurbishment improved the ship's systems and onboard infrastructure. All wetdocks and drydocks (including those in November–December 2021 and April–May 2022) were completed at Grand Bahama Shipyard in Freeport.

During the October 12-14, 2018 cruise, the liner hosted PalmCon — Palm Beach’s 8th annual Comic-Con convention. The event was themed around superheroes, anime, and sci-fi movies and games (video, role-playing, and fantasy card games). This themed cruise was the first Comic-Con at sea and featured numerous pre-planned onboard activities, including celebrity guests, workshops, original art, comics, toys, contests, and live entertainment.

On January 21, 2019, Bahamas Paradise announced a partnership with Viva Travel, resulting in a special Cuba cruise roundtrip from Palm Beach, Florida. The 4-night itinerary aboard Grand Classica was scheduled to depart on February 14, with calls in Havana (Feb 15, 10-hour stay), a sea day (Feb 16), another stop in Havana (Feb 17, 8-hour stay), and return to Palm Beach (Feb 18). The voyage featured Cuban cuisine, entertainment, and open-deck concerts (on Feb 16) with live performances by Los Cuatro, Laritza Bacallao, and La Pantoja.
