Music lovers can experience new levels of entertainment and find their groove while cruising the Caribbean. Margaritaville at Sea offers unique shows, round-the-clock music, and plenty of opportunities for dancing. 

Port of Palm Beach, FL, 7th October 2022, ZEXPRWIRE, Food, luxury, and great packages full of amenities are important elements of any cruise, but the quality of the entertainment can take a voyaging experience to a whole new level. Great music has the power to transport across time and space, and when the listener is already in a beautiful, relaxing setting, it has a singular ability to inspire people to take in the moment – to live in the here and now. When the goal is to relax and getaway, cruises with unique musical offerings can elevate the time away.

On the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise, live music is not just part of the entertainment, it’s one of the best reasons to climb aboard. The music sets a fun mood, livens up the atmosphere, imparts a deep sense of nostalgia, and fuels a desire to make memories. It also pairs perfectly with good food and great drinks. That’s why Margaritaville at Sea places music at the heart of onboard entertainment for its three-day, two-night getaways.

A Signature Show

The centerpiece of the entertainment experience onboard on the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise is Tales from Margaritaville: Jimmy’s Ship Show, a musical odyssey written and produced by Jimmy Buffett himself alongside producer Frank Marshall.
