Christopher Ivy, Chief Executive Officer of Margaritaville at Sea Cruise Line stated:
“In just a few short years, we’ve gone from one ship and one itinerary to three homeports, three distinct ships, and over 25 amazing Ports of Indecision throughout the Caribbean,”
“The arrival of Beachcomber in PortMiami is the next big chapter in our growth, giving our guests greater accessibility, more horizons to explore, and more time to unwind.”
A Larger Ship for Longer Voyages
At over 100,000 gross tons, the Beachcomber is the largest ship in the Margaritaville at Sea fleet. It’s built to accommodate longer trips with more space for guests. The ship will feature over 15 new venues, along with popular fan favorites, upgraded staterooms, and new dining options.

Sailing from the “Cruise Capital of the World”
The decision to homeport in PortMiami, known as the “Cruise Capital of the World,” offers a new, convenient option for travelers. With its easy access from major airports, PortMiami is an ideal launch point for these longer Caribbean journeys.
Bookings for the Beachcomber’s inaugural voyages in 2027 are now open. The new ship joins the line’s other vessels, Paradise (offering short getaways from Palm Beach) and Islander (sailing from Tampa to Mexico).
