Margaritaville at Sea has big plans for its maiden vessel, Margaritaville at Sea Paradise. The ship, which offers short cruises out of the Port of Palm Beach, is to receive a comprehensive program of upgrades and new guest experiences.
New features will span new venues already on the flagship vessel, Margaritaville at Sea Islander, reimagined dining and new entertainment, as well as an additional port of call. The changes will take effect beginning in late March 2025.
“This exciting new lineup of guest experiences on Paradise will match the fun and energy of the new destinations we’re charting this year,” says Anthony Stice, SVP of Hotel Operations for Margaritaville at Sea. “We’re ready to welcome guests with refreshed dining, elevated cocktail experiences, and unforgettable entertainment.”
Margaritaville at Sea Paradise sailings will include a new port of call at Nassau, The Bahamas. This unlocks the new Sail and Splash: Margaritaville Beach Resort Nassau Excursion. This is an exclusive partnership with its on-land sister brand giving cruise guests priority access to the resort. Margaritaville Beach Resort Nassau houses the Fins Up! Water Park.
New Dining and Drinking Venues Unveiled
New venues coming to Paradise include a bar, Hemisphere Dancer Craft Spirits, offering cocktails in a cozy piano lounge setting. All-new specialty dining option, Far Side Sushi, which serves up sushi rolls, small plates, and ramen bowls.
Additionally, JWB Prime Steakhouse will have an upgraded menu with wine pairings and seasonal specialties, while an upgraded License to Chill and adults-only 12 Volt Bar will see new menus and reimagined spaces.
“Sailing on Paradise captures the same fun and escapism, now with even more outstanding food, drinks, and entertainment,” said Christopher Ivy, CEO of Margaritaville at Sea. A comprehensive new entrainment program on Paradise will see a host of new performing artists.
Accelerated Check-In Coming at Port of Palm Beach
For cruise guests, Margaritaville at Sea says the new enhancements will start even before they board the ship. The line has partnered with the Port of Palm Beach to streamline the check-in and debarkation process.
To cut wait times, the port has installed facial recognition tech for a faster process for US passport holders and new parking options, including self-parking and valet service.
