The cruise line offers active military and veterans, first responders and educators free cruise fare.

Margaritaville at Sea, a new cruise line featuring several offerings including Casino Margarita is providing active military and veterans, first responders and educators with free cruise fare under the "Heroes Sail Free" program.

The program is operated through a partnership with GovX.com, a military and government e-commerce site exclusively for military and first responders.

Margaritaville at Sea is the only cruise line operating 3-day, 2-night cruises sailing from the Port of Palm Beach in Florida to Freeport, Grand Bahama Island. 

Margaritaville at Sea President and CEO Kevin Sheehan, Jr. commented: "To show our sincere gratitude for their ongoing service, we wanted to offer these frontline heroes a chance to kick off their boots and work shoes and flip flop into a relaxing getaway.

"We hope a little downtime to recover from the demands of their day-to-day responsibilities is just what they need."

Amenities include JWB Prime Steakhouse and the 5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill, along with pools, retail stores, the St. Somewhere Spa and Casino Margarita. 

CEO of GovX Alan Cole added: "I'm happy to have Margaritaville at Sea join our mission to deliver the best deals and experiences for our incredible GovX members.

"Americans who serve their country and communities deserve a well-earned vacation from time to time, and we're so grateful for this partnership."

Margaritaville at Sea first set sail in May of 2022 and there was a christening ceremony held for the departure. 

Margaritaville CEO John Cohlan added: "On behalf of the Margaritaville family, I'd like to thank everyone that helped us get here and we look forward to many years of smooth sailing ahead."
