About Margaritaville at Sea Paradise
Margaritaville at Sea Paradise is the line's first and smallest ship, a 52,926-gross-ton vessel built by Fincantieri at Monfalcone and delivered in December 1991 as Costa Classica for Costa Cruises. She became Costa neoClassica in 2014, was sold in 2018 to Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line as Grand Classica, and took her present name in 2022 after a rebranding refit at the Grand Bahama Shipyard. A two-week dry dock in May 2023 brought new dining venues and menus, gym upgrades, a pickleball court and two new shows. She sails short cruises from the Port of Palm Beach to Grand Bahama, Nassau and Bimini and to Key West, and her 2027 schedule adds first calls at Puerto Plata and Grand Turk.
