Key Aspects:
- Margaritaville at Sea is relaunching its unlimited, non-consecutive Paradise Pass.

If you’re a passenger who keeps booking cruise after cruise, Margaritaville at Sea is betting a pass may make it easier to book multiple cruises.
The Florida-based cruise line is bringing back its “Paradise Pass” program, giving frequent cruisers the option to lock in unlimited trips for a single, upfront price.
This time, however, the program comes in two versions.
The Silver Pass is aimed at shorter escapes, covering 2- and 3-night sailings mostly designed as weekend getaways. The Ultimate Gold Pass extends the offer to longer 4- to 7-night itineraries across Mexico and the Caribbean.
Both tiers apply to departures from the line’s Florida homeports of Port of Palm Beach and Port Tampa Bay and are now available for sailings scheduled through December 31, 2026.
“Margaritaville at Sea is bringing back its much-loved Paradise Pass program with two brand-new and exciting options – the Silver Pass and the Ultimate Gold Pass,” the company said in its August 21, 2025, announcement.

At the core of the press is the promise of unlimited, non-consecutive sailings for the holder and one guest in an oceanview stateroom. Bookings can be confirmed up to 30 days before departure, giving passengers a wider window to secure cabin assignments.
The program also includes discounted rates for family and friends sailing on the same trip and offers a way to add additional guests to a passholder’s cabin at set rates.
Two Passes Unveiled
The relaunch of the Paradise Pass is split between the two tiers, with the Silver Pass including an oceanview stateroom for two guests, along with a $25 casino match/free play credit on each sailing.
Passholders also receive 5 percent discounts on both onboard purchases and pre-cruise enhancements. Outside of the pass window, they can claim an additional 10 percent off retail bookings.
The Silver option also includes 10 percent off fares for friends and family sailing on the same trip, and passholders have the ability to upgrade at the pier, when space allows.
Those traveling with larger groups can add a third or fourth guest to their cabin at $99 per adult and $59 per child.
Meanwhile, the Ultimate Gold Pass, doubles the casino credit to $50 per sailing and discounts increase to 10 percent on onboard purchases and enhancements, and 20 percent on retail bookings outside the pass window.
Gold passholders also receive 20 percent off fares for friends and family sailing with them, plus a one-time Free Express Pass.
These passholders can also secure a Breezy Balcony upgrade for $299 and additional guests can join for $249 per adult and $99 per child.
The Silver Pass starts at $799 while the Ultimate Gold Pass starts at $1,499.
The new Paradise Pass is good on Margaritaville at Sea’s two ships: Margaritaville at Sea Islander, the newest and biggest ship in the fleet, and Margaritaville at Sea Paradise, the cruise line’s original vessel.
From Palm Beach, most sailings on the 52,926-gross-ton Margaritaville at Sea Paradise are quick trips to the Bahamas, including Freeport and Nassau, and are a better fit for the Silver Pass.
From Tampa, the 85,619-gross-ton Margaritaville Islander expands the brand’s reach to Mexico and the Western Caribbean, offering itineraries that range from 4 to 7 nights.
These are better suited for the Ultimate Gold Pass with sailings that include stops in Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Progreso in Mexico, as well as other Western Caribbean ports.
Currently, Paradise is on a quick adventure to Freeport, Bahamas, and alternates that itinerary with one that calls in Nassau, as well as a slightly longer version that visits both Bahamian ports.
Islander is currently sailing a 7-night route that includes Cozumel and Costa Maya but extends to Roatan, Honduras, and Belize City. Some voyages call in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and George Town, Grand Cayman.
