Costa Fortuna is no longer part of the Costa Cruises fleet. After the completion of its most recent cruise, Costa on September 11, 2026, the ship was renamed Margaritaville at Sea Beachcomber. The vessel has been transferred to Margaritaville at Sea and is undergoing refurbishment ahead of cruises departing from Miami in January 2027.

Costa Fortuna operated as part of Costa Cruises since 2003 and for more than two decades has been running cruises in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean region, and other destinations.

In September 2026, the liner completed its service with Costa Cruises. After being transferred to the new operator, the ship was renamed Margaritaville at Sea Beachcomber.

Before entering service for Margaritaville at Sea, the liner undergoes a major modernization. The first commercial Beachcomber cruises are scheduled to depart from PortMiami in January 2027.
