Margaritaville at Sea

Margaritaville at Sea is a casual cruise line offering affordable fares to attract casual or first-time cruisers who may not seek specific standards or additional services on short cruises. The previous cruise line was established after Celebration Cruise Line ceased operations following a grounding incident that rendered its only vessel, the Bahamas Celebration, irreparably damaged. Former executives from Celebration Cruise Line subsequently formed Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line in 2014, acquiring the Costa Celebration to resume the previously operated route.

In 2021, the Margaritaville brand purchased the cruise line, rebranding it while maintaining the ship and its operations. In 2024, a second ship, the former Costa Atlantica, was acquired, refurbished, and renamed Margaritaville at Sea Islander. Despite these rebranding efforts, the age of both vessels and space limits available amenities. Crew members have frequently raised concerns on social media about the challenging living conditions, poor management and food quality on board.
