When Margaritaville at Sea launched, the cruise line's sole ship offered short 2-night cruises from Palm Beach, Florida, to the Bahamas.
While they've expanded their itineraries since then with the debut of Margaritaville at Sea Islander from Tampa, they have primarily focused on shorter getaways to Mexico and the Western Caribbean. That's changing with Margaritaville's recent announcement of 8 and 10-night sailings aboard Islander in 2027.
For the first time, cruisers can embark on longer cruises aboard Margaritaville's newest cruise ship. Two 8-night voyages will take passengers to Progreso and Cozumel, Mexico, or Belize, Jamaica, and Grand Cayman.
The 10-night cruise is even more impressive, calling at Georgetown, Grand Cayman; Willemstad, Curacao; Oranjestad, Aruba; and Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
With just two ships in the fleet, the new additions ensure that Margaritaville offers unique experiences for repeat cruisers or those who enjoy interesting itineraries compared to typical Bahamian or Mexican voyages.
Through April 30, the new itineraries are available to book for 50% off with free fares for kids!
8-Night Mardi Gras Overnight & Mexico
Have you ever wanted to experience the energy and excitement of Mardi Gras in New Orleans? Margaritaville is offering the best of both worlds, allowing guests to stay overnight in New Orleans for the vibrant nightlife, delicious food, and colorful parades before sailing to Mexico.
Not only that, but Margaritaville promises plenty of themed programming on sea days, so you can keep the party going as you sail towards Mexico!
The 8-night cruise departs on February 7, 2027, with one sea day before two fun-filled days in New Orleans. After sailing down the Mississippi River, you'll have another day at sea en route to Progreso and Cozumel, Mexico, followed by one more day at sea before arriving in Tampa.
Prices start at $866 per person for a standard interior stateroom. Balcony cabins are more expensive at $1,016 per cruiser.

This cruise departs on January 30, 2027, from Tampa, Florida, aboard the Islander. Compared to the special Mardi Gras cruise, prices are slightly cheaper, coming in at $835 per person for an interior cabin and $985 for a private verandah.
