New Weekend Itineraries: Three-Night, Two-Port Cruises

Marking a milestone for the cruise line, Margaritaville at Sea has announced its first-ever three-night, two-port weekend voyages, offering greater flexibility and enriching experiences. These itineraries depart from the Port of Palm Beach, Florida, and include stops in Nassau and Grand Bahama Island, providing guests more time to explore the Bahamas' cultural and scenic attractions.

The new weekend sailings are scheduled for select dates, October 3, 10, 17, 25, and 31, aboard the Paradise. Introductory prices begin at $160 per person for Paradise sailings, while fares for the Islander start at $317 per person. Additionally, free stateroom selection is being included on select dates, excluding suites. As demand grows, further schedule expansions may bring additional availability.

In a statement, Margaritaville at Sea noted, "With these new three-night itineraries, guests don’t have to choose between an off-the-beaten-path adventure or sun-soaked, white sand beaches; they can have both."

Labor Day Flash Sale: Reduced Rates for Additional Guests

To celebrate the launch of the new itineraries, Margaritaville at Sea is running a limited-time Labor Day Flash Sale. Guests booking between August 25 and September 8 can enjoy up to 80% off fares for their second, third, and fourth companions in the same stateroom. This discount applies to Paradise sailings through December 30, 2026, and Islander voyages through April 24, 2027.

For budget-conscious travelers, these discounted fares offer a valuable opportunity to experience the Bahamas' charm and Margaritaville at Sea's onboard lifestyle at an accessible price. Travelers are urged to book early, as promotional rates are subject to capacity and availability constraints.
