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 offers a relaxed and effortless way to enjoy your favourite drinks throughout your cruise. It includes a generous selection of house wines, draught and bottled beers, classic cocktails, mixed drinks made with house spirits, and a wide choice of soft drinks, juices, teas and coffees. Non-alcoholic options such as mocktails, wines and beers are also included, along with savings on premium selections should you wish to upgrade. Available in selected bars, buffets and main restaurants, the package allows up to fifteen alcoholic drinks per day, with gratuities already included. Please note that the Easy Package is not valid in speciality restaurants or on MSC’s private islands, and for sailings to the Caribbean, North America and Alaska, it is only available for pre-cruise purchase.
Premium Extra Package
The Premium Extra Package is MSC Cruises’ most comprehensive and best-value drinks option, created for guests who want to enjoy the finest selection at sea. It includes an exceptional variety of cocktails, premium spirits, wines by the glass, Champagne, beers, mocktails, speciality coffees, soft drinks, energy drinks and more, all with no individual price limit. Guests also receive savings on bottled wine and Champagne purchases, making it the perfect choice for toasting special moments. The package is valid across almost all venues on board, including speciality restaurants and MSC’s private island, Ocean Cay. Guests may enjoy up to fifteen alcoholic drinks per day, while non-alcoholic options remain unlimited.
Alcohol-Free Package
The Alcohol-Free Package is ideal for guests who prefer to keep their cruise refreshingly simple. It includes a wide variety of soft drinks, fruit juices, non-alcoholic cocktails, energy drinks, smoothies, and speciality teas and coffees, along with AQUA by MSC still and sparkling water. Whether you start your day with a fresh juice, cool down by the pool with a mocktail, or finish dinner with an espresso, this package ensures your favourite refreshments are always included. The Alcohol-Free Package is available in selected bars, buffets and main restaurants, but is not valid in speciality dining venues or on MSC’s private islands.
Minors Package
Created especially for younger guests, the Minors Package ensures children and teenagers can enjoy a range of drinks throughout their holiday. It includes unlimited soft drinks, fruit juices, milkshakes, hot chocolate and fun mocktails served in family-friendly venues across the ship. Designed for guests under 18 (or under 21 on North American sailings), this package offers excellent value and keeps everyone included in the experience. When adults in the same cabin have a drinks package, the Minors Package must be added for all underage guests.
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.
