Margaritaville at Sea Beachcomber
“Margaritaville at Sea's upcoming flagship — the former Costa Fortuna, sailing from Miami from January 2027.”
Margaritaville at Sea Beachcomber is the line's third ship and flagship, built in 2003 as Costa Fortuna and acquired by Margaritaville at Sea in 2025. She is being refitted at Harland & Wolff in Belfast, UK, with all public spaces renovated and renamed and every stateroom updated. Her inaugural cruise is scheduled for 9 January 2027 from PortMiami, so she is not yet in service. As Costa Fortuna she measured about 102,669 gross tons and 893 feet, with 13 decks and 1,358 cabins; she carried 2,702 guests at double occupancy and up to about 3,470 at maximum.
A true flagship for the line: an eight-story central atrium with glass elevators and a skylight, a pool with a retractable glass roof, a food hall (High Tide Market) with five venues, and a big family and water-play package including a waterslide.
