The Margaritaville at Sea fleet is growing.

The cruise line has purchased a third ship, the Costa Fortuna, from Costa Cruises. The 3,450-guest ship is now the largest vessel in the Margaritaville at Sea fleet.

The company will renovate the vessel to give it the signature Margaritaville at Sea island-inspired design.

The new vessel joins Margaritaville at Sea Paradise, which launched in 2022, and Margaritaville at Sea Islander, which debuted in 2024.

Costa Cruises will continue to operate the vessel as Costa Fortuna until late next year.

“Over the last three years we have been incredibly focused on building Margaritaville at Sea by delivering more of what our guests love—a uniquely laid-back island attitude with award-winning hospitality,” says Christopher Ivy, chief executive officer of Margaritaville at Sea.

“With the acquisition of our third ship in three years, we are proud to once again invite guests to step into the Margaritaville state of mind on the open ocean," Ivy continued.
