Carnival Cruises Switches Back to Coca-Cola This Summer

Carnival Cruise Line is ending its beverage partnership with Pepsi and bringing Coca-Cola back on board as its official soft drink provider across its North American fleet. Starting later this summer, guests can once again enjoy their favorite Coca-Cola beverages at sea.

This change means soda fountains will be updated across all Carnival ships, and menus will be refreshed to include popular Coca-Cola products like Coca-Cola, Coke Zero Sugar, Sprite, Fanta, Powerade, Topo Chico, and fairlife milk.

“Carnival Cruise Line and Coca-Cola are two iconic brands that celebrate fun, family, friendship, food and fabulous memories,” said Carnival president Christine Duffy. “We’re thrilled to welcome Coke back onboard — our guests love it, and it perfectly complements the kind of unforgettable experiences we offer at sea.”

For long-time Carnival travelers, this move brings a familiar taste back to their cruise experience. Coca-Cola previously partnered with the cruise line until Pepsi became the featured brand in 2020. Now, the partnership has come full circle, with Coke returning to the forefront.

Dagmar Boggs of Coca-Cola added, “We’re thrilled to be back on board with Carnival, literally! Whether it’s an ice-cold Coke with your burger, a Topo Chico poolside, or a Powerade after a shore excursion, we’ve got the perfect refreshment for every moment.”

The rollout will take place across the fleet over the coming months.
