Guests Sailing Aboard Paradise, Islander and Beachcomber Will Experience the Historic Nassau Celebration
ORLANDO, Fla. (July 16, 2026) – Margaritaville at Sea Cruise Line will make company history on Jan. 28, 2027, as Paradise, Islander and the line’s newest flagship, Beachcomber, come together in Nassau for the first time. To mark the occasion, multi-platinum artist, three-time GRAMMY Award winner and AMA Veterans Voice Award recipient Zac Brown Band will perform an exclusive concert for Margaritaville at Sea guests at the Nassau Cruise Port Amphitheatre.
The event will mark the first time the complete Margaritaville at Sea fleet assembles in a single destination, reflecting the cruise line’s rapid evolution from a single ship sailing from the Port of Palm Beach in 2022 to a three-ship fleet serving guests from Palm Beach, Port Tampa Bay and, beginning in 2027, PortMiami.
Three sailings from these three homeports will bring guests together for the occasion. Guests can sail aboard Paradise on a four-night voyage from the Port of Palm Beach to Freeport and Nassau; Islander on a five-night sailing from Port Tampa Bay to Freeport, Grand Bahama and Nassau; orBeachcomber during its inaugural season on a seven-night itinerary from PortMiami to George Town, Grand Cayman; Ocho Rios, Jamaica; and Nassau.
“This is more than a celebration of our fleet; it’s a defining moment for Margaritaville at Sea,” said Christopher Ivy, Chief Executive Officer of Margaritaville at Sea. “No one brings music and travel together quite like we do. It’s where unforgettable entertainment, extraordinary destinations and one-of-a-kind guest experiences combine to create moments that can only happen at sea.”
Guests aboard all three ships will receive exclusive access to the private Zac Brown Band performance, creating a one-of-a-kind live music experience against the backdrop of Nassau’s waterfront. Throughout the voyage, guests will also enjoy a special Captain’s Toast, a festive Sail Away celebration and exclusive onboard events created specifically for this milestone gathering. Additionally, VIP packages will be available for purchase, with additional perks.
