New cruise ship Beachcomber revealed from Margaritaville at Sea
Margaritaville at Sea announced its third cruise ship, Beachcomber, the fleet’s biggest vessel yet and the new flagship of the brand.
Margaritaville at Sea officially announced Beachcomber on July 15, 2025. Beachcomber will join Paradise and Islander as the third ship in the fleet. It’s the largest of the bunch, weighing in at 100,000 gross tons.
Margaritaville’s Beachcomber was originally the Costa Fortuna from Costa Cruises. Margaritaville at Sea acquired the Costa Fortuna ship in May 2025.
Margaritaville did not announce Beachcomber’s home port yet. Paradise sails from Palm Beach; Islander from Port Tampa Bay.
Beachcomber will feature familiar Margaritaville at Sea Venues such as 5 o’clock Somewhere (bar and grill), Cheeseburger in Paradise (burger bar), Hemisphere Dancer (piano lounge), and License to Chill (bar). 15 new experiences will be unique to Beachcomber.
“With Beachcomber, we wanted to create a design that captures the spirit of fun, warmth, and relaxed adventure,” said Martha Brabham, head of design at Margaritaville at Sea. “We drew inspiration from nostalgic beach scenes, vintage surf art, and the carefree escapism that defines the brand. The result is a design that feels joyful and instantly familiar — one that builds on the award-winning aesthetic we introduced with Islander in 2024.”
