On February 22, 2023, Carnival Cruise Line announced that celebrity chef and longtime Carnival partner Guy Fieri, along with rock legend Sammy Hagar, is expanding his offerings across the fleet with the introduction of the duo’s premium Santo Tequilas.

Just in time for National Margarita Day, the cruise line divulged that guests will now be able to enjoy the brand’s smooth old-world-style Santo Blanco Tequila as well as the oak-aged Santo Reposado Tequila at every bar on every ship.

“When Sammy Hagar and I partnered up to bring our real deal, 100% Blue Weber Agave Santo to the tequila-loving masses, we worked hard to make it available coast to coast,” said Fieri.

“But something just seemed to be missing…Santo at sea! So, we joined forces with my longtime partners at Carnival Cruise Line to bring our old-world-style Blanco and Reposado tequilas to every ship in the fleet,” Fieri continued.

Santo Tequila joins Guy’s current food and drink partnerships on board Carnival ships, including Guy’s Burger Joint. The poolside grill launched in 2011 and is featured on all of Carnival’s 24 ships.

Select Carnival ships also feature Guy’s Pig & Anchor, offering smoked-on-board BBQ favorites and sides, or Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse Brewhouse, serving ship-brewed craft beer.

Tip: On ships that offer Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse Brewhouse, cruisers can order Guy Fieri’s Caliente Margarita made with Santo Blanco Tequila, triple sec, cilantro, jalapeño, lemonade, and lime.

About Santo Spirits

Santo Spirits is the brainchild of longtime friends Fieri and Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famer Hagar, conceived from a mutual passion for exceptional food, great tequila, and the search for a taste revelation.

Along with partners Miles Scully and Jack Daniels, Fieri and Hagar created the premium tequila brand with the help of Juan Eduardo Nuñez, a third-generation master distiller from the distinguished Jalisco distillery El Viejito. Nuñez also crafted Hagar’s first foray into tequila, Cabo Wabo.

The combination of Sammy’s history of making world-renowned tequila, Juan Eduardo’s award-winning craftsmanship, and Guy’s famous taste buds have brought Santo Spirits’ portfolio to life.

Santo Spirits also offers Santo Puro Mezquila, the world’s first tequila-mezcal blend Hagar launched in 2017, in partnership with Maroon 5’s Adam Levine.
