MSC Cruises Drinks Packages
MSC Cruises offers a variety of drinks packages designed to suit every guest. From refreshing soft drinks and coffees to cocktails, wines and spirits, there is a package for every style of holiday.
The most popular choice is the Premium Extra Package, which can be bundled into your fare at the time of booking from just £36 per person, per night, offering exceptional value. At Paramount Cruises, all of our Paramount Packages include the Premium Extra drinks package as standard, ensuring the best possible experience and value for our guests.
Why Choose a Drinks Package?
A drinks package allows you to fully relax on board, with your favourite beverages already included. Instead of thinking about the cost of each order, you can enjoy a morning cappuccino, an Aperol Spritz at sail away, or a glass of wine with dinner, knowing it is all part of your package.
Booking your drinks package in advance locks in the best rate, simplifies your holiday budget and ensures you can make the most of MSC’s wide choice of bars, lounges and dining venues.
Easy Package
The Easy Package is a simple and cost-effective way to enjoy a range of popular drinks. It covers selected draught beer, house wines by the glass, a choice of classic cocktails, mixed drinks, soft drinks and fruit juices. You can use this package in bars, self-service restaurants and main dining rooms, making it a practical option for guests who want everyday favourites at a great value.
Premium Extra Package
The Premium Extra Package is MSC’s most comprehensive and best-value package. It includes an extensive choice of cocktails, premium spirits, wines by the glass, Champagne, beers, mocktails, speciality coffees, soft drinks, energy drinks and more, up to a generous menu price. It also includes a discount on bottled wine and Champagne purchases. Drinks are available across nearly all onboard venues, including speciality restaurants and MSC’s private island, Ocean Cay. For alcoholic beverages, the daily allowance is set, while non-alcoholic drinks remain unlimited. This is the package included as standard in all Paramount Packages.
Alcohol-Free Package
Designed for guests who prefer non-alcoholic choices, the Alcohol-Free Package includes a wide selection of soft drinks, fruit juices, non-alcoholic cocktails, energy drinks, bottled water and speciality coffees and teas. It is ideal for adults who do not drink alcohol but still want variety and convenience throughout their holiday.
Minors Package
Created especially for younger guests, the Minors Package provides unlimited non-alcoholic beverages including soft drinks, juices, bottled water, hot chocolate, milkshakes and mocktails. Available for children and teenagers under the age of 18 (or under 21 on sailings in North America), it ensures they are fully catered for while adults enjoy their own packages.
Bundled Booking: Add Premium Extra at the Time of Booking
The Premium Extra Package can be added when you book your cruise, giving you the best pre-cruise rate and complete peace of mind. By bundling it in advance, you secure excellent value and step aboard knowing your drinks are already included. Waiting until you are on board often means paying more. With Paramount Cruises, every Paramount Package includes the Premium Extra Package as standard, guaranteeing the best value for our guests.
MSC Yacht Club
The Yacht Club is MSC’s exclusive ship-within-a-ship experience, with private lounges, an exclusive restaurant, butler service and a private sundeck. Premium Extra is already included for Yacht Club guests, so your drinks package covers both Yacht Club venues and the rest of the ship. It is the most luxurious way to experience MSC Cruises, combining privacy with full access to the line’s entertainment and facilities.
Bars and Lounges on MSC Cruises
Life on board MSC Cruises is rich with choice, and nowhere is this more evident than in the variety of bars and lounges. Each venue has its own character, offering the perfect setting for every moment of your holiday.
Watch the horizon unfold with a cocktail in the sophisticated Sky Lounge, enjoy a spritz with friends as the sun sets at the Horizon Bar, or immerse yourself in live music and a vibrant atmosphere at Eden. Coffee lovers will find their perfect morning ritual in the speciality cafés, while wine bars and Champagne lounges offer elegant spaces to savour a glass before dinner.
For guests in the MSC Yacht Club, private venues such as the Yacht Club Bar and exclusive sundeck bar provide a tranquil escape, where every drink feels like part of a truly refined experience. From morning espressos to late-night cocktails, MSC’s bars and lounges make every sip memorable.
