A Florida production company is offering a rather unusual working holiday: Go Bold Studio is casting a real-life couple to star in a new commercial for cruise brand Margaritaville at Sea — and the gig pays $900 per person per day.
The catch, or the perk, depending on how you look at it: the shoot happens at sea. The selected couple boards an undisclosed cruise ship on January 5, 2027 and returns two days later on January 7, with accommodation and meals covered for the trip. On top of the daily rate, each person gets a $300 wardrobe allowance, so the outfit budget is handled too.
Who they want is fairly specific. The studio is after a genuine, South Florida-based couple with visible chemistry and a fun, active energy — the kind of pair who actually enjoy cruising rather than just posing. Valid passports are non-negotiable given the sailing departs from Florida waters into the Caribbean.
The timing is no accident. The commercial shoot runs just days before a big milestone for the line: the Beachcomber, Margaritaville at Sea's newest ship, is scheduled for its christening on January 9, 2027, with musician Zac Brown on board as godfather. The vessel is currently being converted at the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast — the same historic yard that built the Titanic — and is set to launch in early 2027 with year-round Caribbean itineraries sailing from PortMiami.
For anyone following the cruise scene, the Beachcomber is the expansion story here. Margaritaville at Sea has built its niche on relaxed, island-flavoured short cruises, and adding a purposefully converted ship based year-round in Miami signals a serious push into the Caribbean market for 2027.
Even if you're not a South Florida couple with a camera-ready smile, this is a useful heads-up: new ship launches typically come with introductory fares, and the Beachcomber's Miami-based Caribbean debut will be one of the more affordable ways to try a brand-new vessel early. And for the couple who does land the role, two days at sea, meals included, and a four-figure-plus pay packet is about as painless as commercial work gets. Applications hinge on authenticity over polish, which is a refreshing change from the usual casting grind — the studio would rather cast cruisers than actors.
Worth watching if you're weighing up a 2027 cruise holiday or just enjoy seeing how cruise lines market themselves. Full details appear via Cruise Industry News.
