P&O Cruises Drinks Packages
Whether it’s a refreshing soft drink by the pool, a Costa Coffee to start the day or a perfectly mixed cocktail as the sun sets, P&O Cruises offers drinks packages to suit every style of holiday. From the Classic Package, which brings together drinks, dining credit and Wi-Fi, to the more indulgent Deluxe Package with premium drinks and enhanced inclusions, there is freedom to choose what works best for you. With P&O Cruises’ bundled package options available at the time of booking, enjoying more at sea has never been easier.
Why Choose a Drinks Package?
A drinks package is the easiest way to enjoy your favourite beverages throughout your holiday. From your morning cappuccino to a glass of wine with dinner and an evening cocktail on deck, everything is taken care of. With a package, you can relax knowing your drinks are already covered, making every sip part of the enjoyment rather than something to budget for.
Classic Package
The Classic package is P&O’s most popular choice and is designed to balance variety with value. It includes everything from the Alcohol Free package, as well as a wide selection of cocktails, beers, ciders, wines by the glass and Prosecco up to a set menu price. Spirits and liqueurs are also available in standard measures, making it easy to enjoy a gin and tonic, a refreshing pint or a glass of wine with dinner. The Classic package is now available as part of P&O’s bundled fares, meaning you can add it at the time of booking and begin your holiday with drinks already included.
Deluxe Package
For those who want the very best, the Deluxe package offers the widest range of drinks at sea. It includes everything in the Classic package, but expands the choice to premium cocktails, craft beers, extended wine pours, large spirit measures and a broader selection of premium brands. This package is perfect for guests who want to celebrate special moments in style, indulge in P&O’s most creative cocktail menus, or simply enjoy the reassurance of knowing the finest drinks are included throughout their voyage.
Refresh (Soft Drinks)
The Refresh package is ideal for guests who want simple and unlimited refreshment without alcohol. It includes a wide choice of fountain sodas, selected fruit juices and squash, available whenever you like. Whether you are cooling down after a day ashore or enjoying a refreshing drink by the pool, this package ensures you never go thirsty. It is also an excellent choice for families who want an easy way to keep children supplied with soft drinks throughout their cruise.
Alcohol Free Package
For guests who want more variety without alcohol, the Alcohol Free package is the perfect upgrade. It includes everything in the Refresh package, along with non-alcoholic cocktails, zero-alcohol wines and beers, Costa Coffee favourites, speciality teas and indulgent hot chocolates. This package is designed for those who enjoy the ritual of coffee in the morning, a smoothie in the afternoon and a mocktail in the evening. It offers all the variety of an inclusive experience, without the alcohol.
Booking Your Drinks Package with Bundled Fares
P&O Cruises packages are designed to bring together choice, convenience and excellent value. When you add a Classic or Deluxe Package at the time of booking, your drinks, dining credit and Wi-Fi are included upfront, often offering better value than purchasing extras separately onboard.
Booking in advance means your favourite drinks, connectivity and dining experiences are taken care of from the very start of your holiday, leaving you free to focus on the moments that matter most.
