Just in time to toast Labor Day and the end of summer, Carnival Cruise Line has introduced two new exclusive spirits flavors to its ThirstyFrog line of beverages.
The vodka-based drinks will be available on all Carnival cruise ships, as well as the cruise line’s private island destinations. Half Moon Cay AND Princess Cays in the Bahamas.
New Tropical Hard Seltzers
Both flavors have a tropical vibe. Piña Colada Hard Seltzer is reminiscent of the popular cocktail with hints of pineapple and coconut for a sweet and lively taste, while Berry Hibiscus Hard Seltzer is a blend of summer favorite berries and a hint of sweet hibiscus.
“Over the past few years, hard seltzers have grown in popularity around the world, and we’ve certainly seen that rise in popularity aboard our ships as well.” said Edward Allen, vice president of beverage operations for Carnival Cruise Line.
“I’m proud of our team and the strong seltzers they’ve created that are delicious and refreshing, expanding our high-quality carnival offerings. I know our guests will enjoy them on board and on our private islands.”
The new beverages come in brightly colored 12-ounce (355 ml) cans featuring the iconic red frog that signifies good times and delicious drinks aboard Carnival Cruise Line.
Each can has just 99 calories, making the drinks extremely popular with calorie-conscious cruisers and anyone who prefers a lighter, cooler drink. Each 12-ounce can of seltzer is 5% alcohol by volume and uses all-natural flavoring.
Guest reaction to the announcement on Carnival Cruise Line brand ambassador John Heald’s Facebook page has been overwhelmingly positive, with many eager travelers excited about the new drinks.
Exclusive drink offer
The new strong seltzers are just two of the exclusive beverage offerings Carnival Cruise Line has available for thirsty guests.
Also available are Carnival-exclusive beers, including ParchedPig West Coast IPA, ThirstyFrog Caribbean Wheat and ParchedPig Toasted Amber Ale, all of which are available in cans across Carnival’s fleet.
Carnival Vista launched North America’s first brewery at sea in 2016bringing exclusive craft beer offerings to passengers.
Then, in 2019, the cruise line partnered with Brew Hub in Lakeland, Floridato bring an exclusive line of canned beers to the entire Carnival fleet.
“Being the first cruise line to ever grow their beverage operations by canning and holding their own beer is unprecedented. I hope our guests will take a four-pack home with them to share with family and friends as a refreshing and unforgettable memory of their cruise.” Allen said of that fleet-wide beer offering.
Just last month, Carnival Cruise Line introduced its ParchedPig Beach Lager fleet worldwidebringing more exclusive options to all Carnival guests just in time for International Beer Day on August 5th.
