Margaritaville at Sea - Themed Cruises

Margaritaville at Sea is the perfect cruise to take with family and friends throughout the year. If you are looking to spice up your cruise Margaritaville at Sea even has themed cruises to cater to your needs.




Here are a few of the fun options:


Pints in Paradise


In the spirit of Octoberfest, Margaritaville at Sea trades in salt-rimmed stemware for frosty beer steins for “Pints in Paradise,” a new package featuring the first and only craft beer festival at sea. The “pitcher-perfect” package will offer guests samples from a selection of more than 60 beers, ciders, and seltzers from local and national brewhouses. The festival package also includes pub bites infused with an island twist; the Grand Champion Stein-Holding Contest; meet-and-greets with representatives from popular brew brands; and more.





Sail the Spooky Seas


Halloween-themed sailings are available on select dates in October. These “spooky” sailings included a special lineup of hauntingly good cocktails and spirits. To satisfy those tempting sweet tooths, desserts-to-die-for menu included twisted takes on classic treats like witchy finger cookies, dead velvet cake and poison candy apples. Thrilling entertainment will be sure to cast a spell on all with Halloween scream-a-longs, themed games and more. Guests can also partake in a Haunted Bar Crawl with specialty spiked libations, syringe shots and a frightfully fun tour of the ship’s best haunted hideaways.




Very Merry Margaritaville


Tis the season to set sail on the merriest Bahamas cruise! In December you can enjoy an array of festive cocktails, dazzling seasonal décor and a ship-ton of themed activities and entertainment. It is the perfect holiday cruise for family photo-ops and an overall merry time! It is also a great time to stock up on all of the holiday inspired Margaritaville souveniers for the perfect stocking stuffers. You are bound to find something for everyone on your list!





Girls Night Out


Grab your girlfriends and get ready for the most epic girls trip ever! The Girls Night Out package includes a welcome glass of sparkling wine, a five-drink punch card, Wi-Fi for one device, branded swag, exclusive spa, casino and merchandise discounts and even a few GNO-themed surprises. You can upgrade and customize your getaways even further with the JWB Sparkling Breakfast featuring a luxurious brunch with unlimited mimosas, bellinis and Bloody Mary cocktails and a photo package. You can also add the Express Pass, which allows for fast check-in, disembarkation and priority luggage delivery.
