If you’ve ever dreamed of treating the ocean like your second home, Margaritaville at Sea is making that fantasy a little more attainable. The cruise line just relaunched its popular Paradise Pass — a kind of unlimited cruise membership that lets you and a guest sail as often as you want through the end of 2026.
How the passes work
The new program comes in two flavors: the Silver Pass, starting at $799, and the Ultimate Gold Pass, starting at $1,499. Both cover an Oceanview stateroom for two people and allow unlimited non-consecutive sailings — meaning you can book as many getaways as you’d like, as long as you leave at least a day between trips.
Silver Pass: Best for short two- or three-night weekend cruises. Perks include $25 casino play each trip, small onboard discounts, and the option to bring friends or family at a reduced rate.
Ultimate Gold Pass: Unlocks longer four- to seven-night sailings to the Caribbean and Mexico, with bigger discounts, a free express pass, and more casino play. You can even upgrade to a balcony stateroom for an extra $299.
Where you’ll sail
Margaritaville at Sea departs from Palm Beach and Tampa, Florida, with itineraries ranging from quick hops to The Bahamas to weeklong escapes to Aruba, Jamaica, and Mexico. The passes cover sailings on both the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise and the cruise line’s new flagship, the Islander.
The fine print
You’ll need to book at least 30 days in advance, and while the pass covers your cabin, you’re still responsible for taxes, fees, and gratuities each trip. But for frequent cruisers — or anyone looking for a warm-weather escape on repeat — the math could add up quickly in your favor.
So, would you take the plunge on an unlimited cruise pass?
