Jimmy Buffett is going cruising. And his fans, known as 'parrot heads,' are invited along for the ride. Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line has announced that it is rebranding as 'Margaritaville at Sea,' beginning April 30, 2022.
BPCL's current ship Grand Classica will go into wet dock in Grand Bahama for a full transformation. It will re-emerge as Margaritaville Paradise in time to start cruising on April 30. The company says the ship will continue operating two-night sailings from the Port of Palm Beach to Freeport, Grand Bahama Island.
"Margaritaville at Sea will be a new, exciting, and fun way for guests to escape and vacation in Margaritaville," said John Cohlan, CEO of Margaritaville. "From oceans to lakes, Margaritaville has an organic tie to the water and with Margaritaville at Sea, we're able to put our iconic lifestyle, resort experiences, and elevated service directly on the sea. We look forward to seeing guests on, and in, Paradise."
Margaritaville Resorts & Hotels hints that it anticipates adding more ships over time, referring to the Margaritaville Paradise as its 'first vessel.'
"We're excited about this new partnership as we launch Margaritaville at Sea out of the Port of Palm Beach," said Oneil Khosa, CEO of Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line, who will also serve as CEO of Margaritaville at Sea.
"We are incredibly proud of what we've built at Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line and are appreciative of our loyal customers and trade partners who have stood by us through so much. The collaborative concept will add a different dimension to the cruising industry, appealing to a new audience of travellers," Khosa added.
Khosa says Margaritaville at Sea will provide guests with Margaritaville's authentic culture, entertainment, and food en route to Grand Bahama Island.
"The experience will be complemented by an unmatched, personalized approach to guest service from start to finish via valet service and exclusive cruise terminals for smoother embarkation and disembarkation. It's the perfect partnership in paradise," Khosa said.
