#1 Best Cruise Line for Heroes | Margaritaville at Sea

Since launching with GOVX in 2022, the program has welcomed over 100,000 U.S. military, first responders, educators, and more for well-deserved getaways. And it's only getting better.

Launched in 2022 in partnership with GOVX, the Margaritaville at Sea “Heroes Sail Free” program was created to demonstrate the cruise line’s deep, unwavering appreciation for U.S. active and former duty military, first responders, medical professionals, government workers and educators, and to honor their hard work and sacrifice.

From exclusive discounts that guarantee Heroes sail the very best prices on all dates, destinations and itineraries to special free cabin drops and dedicated onboard programming, Margaritaville at Sea is dedicated to creating special experiences for Heroes to enjoy at sea.

And there's even more coming! To celebrate Heroes Month this May, Margaritaville at Sea is saying its biggest thank you yet: starting with an ultra-exclusive release of free cabins for two on incredible sailings, a fundraising effort with special partners and dedicated onboard tributes and community-building programs.
