Carnival Cruise Line switches from Pepsi to Coke

Carnival Cruise Line switches from Pepsi to Coke

After more than five years of serving Pepsi products, Carnival Cruise Lines is reuniting with the Coca-Cola Company to offer its soft drinks, zero-sugar offerings and sparkling flavored water starting later this summer.

Guests sailing from one of Carnival’s 13 U.S. homeports can soon enjoy Coca-Cola brands, which include the classic soda of the same name, Sprite, Fanta, Powerade, Topo Chico and Fairlife, among others.

“Carnival Cruise Line and Coca-Cola are two iconic brands that celebrate fun, family, friendship, food and fabulous memories,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, in a news release. “We are excited to welcome back Coca-Cola’s diverse lineup of beverages, which our guests love and which will enhance the food and beverage experience that is always part of a great cruise vacation on Carnival. Both our brands are built on bringing people together, making The Coca-Cola Company and Carnival Cruise Line a perfect partnership.”

The cruise line anticipates the new offerings will be fully integrated across its North American fleet by the end of September. Carnival’s Australian-based ships already serve Coca-Cola beverages.

“We’re thrilled to be back on board with Carnival, literally! From an ice-cold Coca-Cola with lunch, a Topo Chico by the pool, or a Powerade after exploring a destination, we’ll have the perfect drink for every moment of the journey,” said Dagmar Boggs, president of foodservice and on-premise for The Coca-Cola Company’s North American operating unit, in a news release. “This partnership is all about enhancing the guest experience, and we’re thrilled to offer a beverage lineup as diverse and exciting as the adventures Carnival guests embark on.”
