Carnival Cruise Line is bringing back a fan favorite that longtime guests have been asking for: Coca-Cola is once again setting sail across the Carnival fleet in North America.
In a move that many Carnival loyalists will welcome with open arms, the cruise line announced its renewed partnership with The Coca-Cola Company as its official beverage partner. Beginning later this summer, Carnival ships across North America will begin serving the full lineup of Coca-Cola products, including Coca-Cola Classic, Sprite, Fanta, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Powerade, Topo Chico, and more.
For years, Carnival cruisers have voiced their love for Coca-Cola products, and this return marks a shift that feels like a nod to the line’s roots and the preferences of its most devoted guests.
“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. “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.”
From a refreshing Coke poolside to a Topo Chico during sailaway, the new beverage selection aims to elevate moments big and small throughout the cruise experience. For seasoned cruisers who remember sipping Coca-Cola at sea, this change feels both familiar and exciting.
“We’re thrilled to be back on board with Carnival, literally,” said Dagmar Boggs, president, Foodservice & On-Premise, The Coca-Cola Company, North American Operating Unit. “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.”
The rollout will begin later this summer, with the full integration expected across Carnival’s North American fleet by the end of September 2025. Guests sailing from Carnival’s 13 U.S. homeports can soon look forward to enjoying their favorite Coca-Cola beverages once again.
Carnival’s ships in Australia have already been serving Coca-Cola, and now North American cruisers can raise a glass to a return that feels long overdue.
