Margaritaville at Sea Debuts a New Travel Advisor Certification Program
Margaritaville at Sea announced the launch of its new Certified Margaritaville at Sea Travel Advisor program, a self-paced training and rewards initiative designed to give travel advisors the knowledge, tools and benefits to grow their business with the cruise line.
Now available to registered travel partners worldwide, the program features four training sections that can be completed in less than 90 minutes. Upon completion, graduates earn the professional designation of Certified Margaritaville at Sea Travel Advisor, along with a personalized certificate and certification logo for use across email signatures, websites and social media.
“Travel advisors have become an essential part of our brand, and investing in their growth remains one of our highest priorities,” said Ron Gulaskey, senior vice president of sales at Margaritaville at Sea. “The launch of the certification program reflects our ongoing commitment to listening, learning and delivering the resources our advisor partners need to succeed. When advisors feel confident in their knowledge of our brand and in selling it, they’re able to create more seamless, personalized experiences for their clients while growing their own businesses, and that’s a win for everyone.”
In addition to certification and marketing tools, graduates become eligible for a range of exclusive incentives and opportunities, including:
Booking incentives: Certified advisors receive $50 in bonus commission for all new FIT bookings made within two weeks of earning certification. The first 50 advisors to complete the program will also receive an additional $25 bonus commission on their first FIT booking following certification, for a combined $75 incentive.
Group rewards: Certified advisors receive two additional GAP points for groups booked within one month of earning their designation.
Advisor travel opportunities: Graduates gain access to special perks on travel advisor-rate and FAM sailings and become eligible for invitation-only fam trips, Seminars at Sea and select regional events.
Certification assets: Graduates receive a custom certificate of completion, a digital certification logo for use across their own marketing channels, customizable marketing materials featuring the certification logo and, upon request, a Margaritaville at Sea graduate sticker.
The certification program expands Margaritaville at Sea’s growing suite of travel advisor resources and sales initiatives as the cruise line continues to broaden its fleet and reach new travelers. By combining brand education with practical selling tools and advisor-exclusive rewards, the program is designed to help travel partners build expertise while creating new opportunities to grow their Margaritaville at Sea business.

Margaritaville at Sea Hits One Million Guests Mark – Cruise Industry News | Cruise News
Margaritaville at Sea celebrated a major milestone on June 25 as it welcomed its one millionth guest.
The guest was surprised during a special presentation aboard the Margaritaville at Sea Islander.
The occasion also coincided with the two-year anniversary of the ship’s debut from Port Tampa Bay, the company said in a press release.
This comes as the cruise line is getting ready to welcome its third ship, the Beachcomber, in January 2027.
Currently sailing as the Costa Fortuna for Costa Cruises, the vessel will continue in service through the summer before entering drydock in late September 2026.
MJM Marine and Mivan were recently hired to deliver a significant proportion of the refurbishment program for the multi-million-pound project.
Following rebranding, the ship will relaunch as the Beachcomber in 2027, sailing mainly week-long Caribbean cruises during its inaugural season from its homeport in Miami.
