Margaritaville Will Sail Four- to Seven-Night Cruises From Galveston

Two weeks ago, Cruise Fever reported that the board of trustees at the Port of Galveston voted to approve Margaritaville at Sea to sail from the port sometime in 2027.

Today, the cruise line announced that its next new ship, Beachcomber, will offer four- to seven-night cruises from Galveston to the Western Caribbean and The Bahamas beginning October 2027.

The cruise ship will offer one of the widest ranges of cruises from Texas. The new itineraries are now open for bookings with cruise visits to the following ports:

• Aruba
• Key West
• Curaçao
• Grand Cayman
• Montego Bay
• Belize
• Progreso
• Roatán
• Cozumel
• Grand Bahama Island
• Veracruz, Mexico

Beachcomber will bring more than 15 new experiences to cruises from Texas, including 5 o’Clock Somewhere, Hemisphere Dancer, Cheeseburger in Paradise, License to Chill and more.

Texas is known for its country music, and Beachcomber will bring a little extra star power to the Gulf. Same Boat, the world’s first artist-designed live music venue on the water, was created in collaboration with three-time GRAMMY Award winner Zac Brown to capture the energy and atmosphere of a Zac Brown Band show at sea.

The artist-curated venue will pair live performances with elevated cocktails in a space inspired by Brown’s musical influences and signature style, giving Texas guests a place to grab a drink, catch a show, and settle in for a night of great live music.

Same Boat will also feature a specially curated roster of top-tier talent uniquely selected for the Texas market.

Christopher Ivy, Chief Executive Officer of Margaritaville at Sea, gave the following statement:

“Texas knows how to have a good time, so bringing Margaritaville at Sea to Galveston feels like a natural fit. With Beachcomber, we’re giving guests an incredible ship and more choices for where their vacation can take them, including places they simply can’t reach on other cruises from Galveston. It’s a chance to see more, go farther and make every getaway a little different, all while experiencing the Margaritaville lifestyle at sea.”
