The Islander, the former Costa Atlantica, is undergoing a refurbishment before the ship's maiden Margaritaville voyage from Tampa on June 14. The Islander will be Margaritaville at Sea's second ship -- the Paradise debuted two years ago.
Margaritaville at Sea said Savannah spent much of her childhood traveling on seaplanes, sailboats and tour buses with her father. Throughout her career, Savannah has served as a creative and musical consultant, hosting her own radio show on SiriusXM's Radio Margaritaville, and co-authored two children's books with her father: "Jolly Mon" and "Trouble Dolls."
The 2,650-passenger Islander will sail cruises of four to seven nights from Tampa, calling in Key West, Cozumel and Progreso. The ship's restaurants will include Frank and Lola's Pizzeria, Cheeseburger in Paradise a three-story LandShark Bar and the Mexican Cutie Cantina. Other features: Paradise Pickleball at Sea, Margaritaville-inspired cornhole and mini-golf course and the Caribbean Amphibian Play Pad and Slide.
Margaritaville at Sea has redesigned all 1,105 staterooms with new furnishings and styling reminiscent of the sand, sea and sky.
