Margaritaville at Sea announced the maiden voyage of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander, the line’s second ship, from Port Tampa Bay on June 14, 2024.
Its 4-night maiden voyage will sail to Cozumel, Mexico. The ship’s godmother, Savannah Buffet, who is Jimmy Buffet’s daughter, christened the ship as Margaritaville at Sea’s new flagship ahead of its maiden voyage.
The Margaritaville at Sea Islander, which was completely refurbished and offers accommodations for up to 2,650 guests, offers longer 4- to 5-night itineraries from Tampa to Mexico and Key West. It spans 12 stories and features a 3-story LandShark Bar at Sea, six new dining concepts, two new live productions, kid-friendly activities and more.
Later in 2025, the ship will begin sailing longer 6- and 7-night itineraries calling to Belize, Jamaica and Grand Cayman.
“We’re thrilled to kick off the summer by giving guests the opportunity to experience the Margaritaville state of mind on the open ocean like never before,” said Christopher Ivy, CEO of Margaritaville at Sea. “The Islander offers an entirely new way to float into island time, providing couples, families, and friends an unforgettable journey with new spaces and experiences to explore, making the voyage just as enjoyable as the destinations.”
