The Collaboration

Margaritaville at Sea Cruise Line and three-time GRAMMY Award–winning, multi-platinum artist Zac Brown have embarked on a creative venture to redefine onboard entertainment. By joining forces, they aim to make their newest flagship, the Beachcomber, a hub of music-inspired excitement. This marks the first time Margaritaville at Sea has partnered with a musician to curate an entire venue, creating a bold statement in live performance at sea.

A Unique Venue at Sea

Central to this collaboration is “Same Boat,” a live music haven aptly named after a song Jimmy Buffett sang with Zac Brown on the deluxe edition of The Comeback. Billed as the largest entertainment space on the ship, “Same Boat” sets out to create memorable nights filled with world-class performances and creative cocktails. The venue is designed to capture the spirit of a Zac Brown Band show while offering all the tropical flair of Margaritaville at Sea.

Designing the Margaritaville Experience

Zac Brown, recognized as the first-ever recipient of the AMA Veterans Voice Award, is contributing more than just his name. He’s personally involved in every aspect of the design process—everything from musical selections to intricate decorative details. His vision is fueled by what he calls “the easygoing energy that’s always guided my music,” tying in the sea’s sense of freedom with the beloved harmony of a live show.

“When we started talking about this partnership, I knew I didn’t just want to design a room — I wanted to create an experience that truly captures the spirit of Margaritaville at Sea,” said Zac Brown. “Every detail reflects pieces of my own journey — from the stage to the sea — all coming together to create a place where people can connect, share a drink, listen to great music, and feel that incredible sense of freedom you only find at a show or out on the open water.”

Launch on the Beachcomber

As Margaritaville at Sea’s newest flagship, the Beachcomber presents an ideal platform for Zac Brown’s immersive approach. Guests can expect more than casual cruising: the ship will become a traveling concert venue, complete with state-of-the-art acoustics and an atmosphere reminiscent of a sun-soaked music festival. With “Same Boat” as its epicenter, the Beachcomber signals a refreshed approach to live entertainment on the open seas, bringing together music lovers and ocean adventurers under one vibrant roof.
