Margaritaville at Sea’s newest flagship vessel will offer longer, 4- and 5-night cruises with stops to Key West, Cozumel, and Progreso beginning in June 2024.

The Margaritaville at Sea Islander offers accommodations for 2,650 guests. It’s currently undergoing refurbishment across its twelve decks, 1,100 staterooms and more. When the ship debuts, it’ll offer a 14-story atrium, a three-story poolside LandShark Bar at Sea and more. 

The Margaritaville at Sea Islander will make its first sailing on June 14, 2024, on a 4-night itinerary from Port Tampa Bay to Cozumel. This will also be the first time the cruise line begins sailing from Port Tampa Bay in Florida.

"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," said Christopher Ivy, CEO of Margaritaville at Sea. "The addition of the Islander is an exciting moment for Margaritaville at Sea and marks the next chapter of growth for our business. We are also pleased to add Tampa as a new homeport – the perfect location to provide access to our adventurous new itineraries in and around the Gulf of Mexico."

The cruise line announced earlier in November that it would also offer new 3-night weekend voyages from the Port of Palm Beach onboard its Margaritaville at Sea Paradise ship, called Saturdays at Sea, available from August through December 2024.
