Family travelers will delight in Margaritaville at Sea’s Islander, which set sail on her inaugural voyage in June 2024, departing from Port Tampa Bay to Cozumel, Mexico, on a four-night journey. The ship boasts 12 decks accommodating 2,650 passengers. The ship will now continue to sail four- and five-night cruises to Key West and Mexico, before venturing to Belize, Jamaica and Grand Cayman on six- and seven-night itineraries in 2026.
“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, 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.”

Favorites return, as well, like JWB Prime Steakhouse and Cheeseburger in Paradise. New spots include Mexican Cutie Cantina, The Flip Flop Atrium, Bubbles Up Lounge and Champagne Bar, and more.
Live production shows, theme nights, poolside activities and music unique to the ship are highlights of the onboard entertainment. Families will delight at amenities including Caribbean Amphibian Play Pad & Slide, Dis and Dat Activity Zone, and the Defying Gravity Experience.
