Margaritaville at Sea Brings Back Halloween Sailings for 2026
The program covers both operating ships, Margaritaville at Sea Paradise and Islander, with a new Ghostly Game Show, Halloween bar crawl and themed entertainers.
Margaritaville at Sea will bring back its “Sail the Haunted Seas” Halloween program on select 2026 sailings from Port of Palm Beach and Port Tampa Bay. The seasonal entertainment package is scheduled to run from September 15 through November 1 aboard Margaritaville at Sea Paradise and Margaritaville at Sea Islander.
The program covers both of the line’s operating ships: Paradise, which sails from Port of Palm Beach, and Islander, which sails from Tampa.
New additions for 2026 include an interactive “Ghostly Game Show,” a Halloween bar crawl and themed guest entertainers on selected departures, the company said. Returning programming from the 2025 version includes the “Spooktacular Murder Mystery Game Show,” “White Hot Neon Nightmares,” “Monster Bash Family Disco” and a “Trick-or-Treat Trail.”
The cruise line said passengers can also expect Halloween-themed venue takeovers, seasonal food and beverage items, costumed characters and themed entertainment across the fall sailings. The announcement did not include an executive comment or disclose whether any of the seasonal programming carries an added charge.
The Halloween schedule comes ahead of Margaritaville at Sea’s planned fleet expansion with Beachcomber, the former Costa Fortuna, which has been announced as the line’s third vessel.
