Margaritaville at Sea Expands Fleet

Margaritaville at Sea has achieved a significant milestone by announcing the acquisition of its third vessel, the Costa Fortuna, as part of its ongoing fleet expansion plan. This announcement coincides with the company's third anniversary, marking a remarkable journey since its inception. The Costa Fortuna, acquired from Costa Cruises, is slated to be the largest ship in the Margaritaville fleet, boasting over 102,500 gross tons and accommodating approximately 3,450 passengers.

The addition of the Costa Fortuna aligns with Margaritaville's mission to bring the relaxed spirit of island life to cruise enthusiasts. With more than 1,340 staterooms and 13 passenger decks, this ship is set to provide an unparalleled lifestyle experience on the open ocean. The Margaritaville brand has been well received since the launch of its first vessel, the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise, in May 2022. The company has since welcomed hundreds of thousands of guests looking for fun-filled getaways that emphasize relaxation and escapism.

Christopher Ivy, CEO of Margaritaville at Sea, expressed his excitement about the acquisition, highlighting their commitment to offering guests a unique experience steeped in Margaritaville's renowned hospitality and laid-back ambiance. “Over the last three years, we have been incredibly focused on building Margaritaville at Sea by delivering more of what our guests love,” Ivy said, pointing out that this new ship acquisition presents an exciting opportunity to create even more memorable sailing experiences.

The Costa Fortuna will undergo a transformation to embody the island-inspired theme that has become synonymous with Margaritaville. This means guests can expect innovative decor and amenities that reflect the brand's fun-loving ethos. With its spacious outdoor areas and a grand 8-story atrium, the ship promises to be a stunning addition to the Margaritaville fleet, further enriching the range of experiences they provide.

This rapid growth in recognition has fueled the buzz around Margaritaville at Sea, making it a desirable choice for travelers looking for a unique vacation.

Looking ahead, starting in January 2026, Margaritaville at Sea will introduce longer itineraries that will take guests to exciting new destinations, including Aruba, Curaçao, Montego Bay, and New Orleans.
