TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The newest Margaritaville at Sea ship has begun its journey to Tampa.
The Margaritaville at Sea Islander left the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland over the weekend.
The ship will take three weeks to cross the Atlantic and arrive at Port Tampa Bay.

Margaritaville at Sea said the ship underwent extensive reimagining while docked in Ireland. The crew will finish the ship’s final flourishes along the way.
The Islander will set sail on four and five-night cruises in June with stops in Key West, Cozumel and Progreso. It can hold 2,650 passengers and has 12 decks.
The Islander is the company’s second ship. The Margaritaville at Sea Paradise launched in 2022 and sails from the Port of Palm Beach.
