Margaritaville at Sea 2028 Schedule Includes 30 Itineraries

Margaritaville at Sea has announced its 2028 schedule, which includes 30 itineraries visiting 25 destinations — two ports of call which are brand new to the cruise line.

For the first time, Margaritaville at Sea will visit Limón, Costa Rica and Colón, Panama, with Islander visiting both destinations on new eight-night voyages from Tampa. The itineraries also include a visit to Grand Cayman as well as four days at sea — giving passengers plenty of time to enjoy the ship and ocean views between destinations.

The 2028 schedule pairs these destinations with returning favorite ports, including Key West, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Belize, Roatán, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Bimini, Nassau, and Progreso.
