Margaritaville at Sea Unveils 30 Itineraries for 2028

Margaritaville at Sea has unveiled 30 itineraries visiting 25 destinations, including two new-to-brand ports of call and a collection of specialty and holiday sailings.

For the first time, Margaritaville at Sea will call on Limón, Costa Rica, and Colón, Panama, with Islander visiting both destinations on new eight-night voyages from Tampa. Limón serves as a gateway to Costa Rica’s rainforests and Caribbean coastline, while Colón opens the door to Panama’s tropical landscapes and the iconic Panama Canal. The itineraries also include a call in Grand Cayman and four days at sea, giving guests ample time to explore Islander between destinations.

“We’ve built our 2028 lineup around the idea that no two escapes have to look the same,” said Christopher Ivy, CEO of Margaritaville at Sea. “… this schedule gives them more choices and plenty of reasons to come back and experience something different. These unique itineraries are designed for guests who want to experience the authentic Caribbean and explore beyond it.”

The 2028 lineup pairs these new destinations with returning guest favorites including Key West, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Belize, Roatán, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Bimini, Nassau, and Progreso.

Return to New Orleans

Following its first-ever Mardi Gras visit in 2027, Islander will return to New Orleans for the 2028 celebration with an overnight in the city.

Back for its third year, Islander’s signature Halloween voyage takes a new turn in 2028 with an overnight stay in New Orleans. Sailing from Tampa, the special Halloween and Día de los Muertos itinerary gives guests more time in New Orleans, along with three full sea days.

ABCs from Tampa

In 2028, Margaritaville at Sea will offer the only cruise from Tampa visiting all three ABC islands – Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao – giving Islander guests the opportunity to experience the trio on a single voyage.

International Parrothead Day

Islander will channel the ultimate island state of mind on a special five-night sailing to Key West and Bimini departing June 25, 2028. Timed around International Parrothead Day on June 28, the voyage brings together legendary island culture, tropical destinations, and plenty of opportunities for Parrotheads to flock together at sea.

Music-Themed Voyages

Leaning into Margaritaville’s musical DNA, Margaritaville at Sea will turn up the volume in 2028 with additional music-focused specialty sailings featuring chart-topping artists and exclusive performances at sea. More details and artist announcements will be revealed in the months ahead.
