Margaritaville at Sea has just announced its most ambitious vessel to date: Beachcomber, the cruise line’s largest and most immersive ship yet. At over 100,000 gross tons, Beachcomber will redefine the brand’s signature "Margaritaville state of mind," offering guests more room, more experiences, and more of the escapist fun that has become a hallmark of the fleet.

Drawing inspiration from her sister ships Islander and Paradise, Beachcomber promises to be a vibrant celebration of relaxed adventure, featuring sunlit yellows, breezy blues, and warm sandy tones throughout its design.

“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.”

Beyond the visual design, Beachcomber is expected to deliver an expanded lineup of signature venues and new, exclusive offerings. Fan-favorite venues like 5 o’Clock Somewhere, Cheeseburger in Paradise, Hemisphere Dancer, and License to Chill will return, joined by more than 15 brand-new experiences tailored just for this next-generation ship.

“Beachcomber isn’t just our largest ship; it’s a floating celebration of everything guests love about Margaritaville at Sea hospitality, turned up a few notches,” said Christopher Ivy, CEO of Margaritaville at Sea. “Building on the magic and momentum of Islander, we set out to create an experience that’s even more immersive, playful, and full of unexpected delights.”

While no official itineraries or inaugural sailing date have been revealed yet, Beachcomber’s announcement signals a bold step forward for the cruise line, which continues to carve out a unique niche in the industry with its laid-back, Jimmy Buffett-inspired approach to cruising.

Stay tuned for more details as Beachcomber prepares to set sail—and get ready to soak up more sun, sip more tiki drinks, and live the Margaritaville lifestyle like never before.
