Margaritaville at Sea has teased the first details about its new upcoming flagship vessel. The third ship in the fleet – and largest to date – will be renamed Margaritaville at Sea Beachcomber.
The 102,000-ton ship is currently sailing as the Costa Fortuna with Costa Cruises. Margaritaville at Sea was confirmed as the ship’s buyer in May and is set to take delivery of the ship in late 2026. It marks its third ship in four years since the line launched in 2022.
“With Beachcomber, we wanted to create a design that captures the spirit of fun, warmth, and relaxed adventure,” said Martha Brabham, Head of Design at Margaritaville at Sea.
“We drew inspiration from nostalgic beach scenes, vintage surf art, and the carefree escapism that defines the brand. The result is one that builds on the award-winning aesthetic we introduced with Islander in 2024.”
Fan Favorite Margaritaville Experiences Coming to New Ship
Few specific details have been disclosed yet about what guests can expect on the new ship. However, signature Margaritaville amenities and venues will be featured, including 5 o’Clock Somewhere, Hemisphere Dancer, Cheeseburger in Paradise, and License to Chill.
These will be supplemented with more than 15 all-new experiences designed specifically for Beachcomber.
“Beachcomber isn’t just our largest ship; it’s a floating celebration of everything guests love about Margaritaville at Sea, turned up a few notches,” says Christopher Ivy, Chief Executive Officer.
“Building on the magic and momentum of Islander, we set out to create an experience that’s even more immersive, playful, and full of unexpected delights. Beachcomber promises sun-soaked surprises and the signature spirit.”
More details about Beachcomber’s homeport, itineraries, and booking opportunities will be shared later this summer. The current fleet consists of Margaritaville at Sea Paradise and Islander. Costa Fortuna currently accommodates more than 2,700 guests at double occupancy.
