This is an online planning guide, not an official downloadable PDF. For many cruisers, a Celebrity drink package in 2026 offers **excellent value**, especially if you opt for the 'All Included' fare which bundles the Classic Drink Package, Wi-Fi, and gratuities. If purchased separately, the Classic package starts from around **£65 per person per day**, and the Premium from **£75 per person per day** as of June 2026. They typically pay for themselves if you consume 4-5 alcoholic drinks, plus specialty coffees and bottled water daily. Always use a cruise drink package calculator to assess your personal value. Verify the current package and price for your exact sailing through the operator links on this page.
Celebrity Cruises, known for its premium experience, offers a range of drink packages designed to enhance your holiday without the worry of a mounting bar bill. Unlike some other cruise lines, Celebrity has streamlined its offerings, often integrating drink packages into their 'All Included' fare structure. This approach simplifies the decision-making process for many, though it's crucial to understand what's actually covered. My first Celebrity cruise on the Reflection back in 2018 really opened my eyes to how a good drink package can transform the onboard experience.
The core of Celebrity's beverage programme revolves around two main alcoholic packages – Classic and Premium – alongside a non-alcoholic option. These packages are available for purchase both pre-cruise through the Celebrity Cruise Planner and onboard.
