Margaritaville at Sea Islander announces expanded offerings

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Tampa’s newest cruise ship is expanding its options in 2025.

The Margaritaville at Sea Islander, set for its first voyage on June 14, 2024, will offer new six and seven-night cruises in 2025, with stops in Belize, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Key West, Cozumel and Costa Maya, and Mexico.

Currently, the cruise only offers four-day trips, with a five-day cruise option coming later this year.

“These longer sails and captivating new ports of call will deliver entirely new experiences for our guests seeking the ultimate in adventure and relaxation,” said Chris Ivy, CEO of Margaritaville at Sea. “More days at sea also means plenty of time to explore all the Islander has to offer, from brand new entertainment and food and beverage options to exciting amenities and venues.”

Margaritaville at Sea said dining offerings on the ship will include sushi, tacos, steaks, and cocktails, with six new dining experiences and 11 new bars and lounges coming exclusively to the Islander.

The Islander, currently stationed in Northern Ireland, was built in 1999 under Costa Cruises and is being refurbished before its maiden voyage, the Business Journal said.

Those looking to book a cruise on the new ship can do so at the Margaritaville at Sea website.
