Cunard drink prices 2026: packages, bands and tips
Cruise Advisor planning guide. Verify changing prices, policies and itineraries with the relevant provider before booking.
If you’re searching for “cunard drink prices 2026”, the key point is that Cunard shows drinks options in US dollars, per person per night, and the figure you’ll see depends on your voyage length. There isn’t a single one-size-fits-all daily price. Below we set out the exact duration bands currently displayed on Cunard’s UK site, what each option covers, and the rules you should check before you buy. We also explain how to decide whether to pre-book a package or simply pay for drinks individually, with UK-focused money-saving ideas and links to our wider guides, including Are cruise drink packages worth it?.
Cunard’s UK “A World of Drinks” page shows 2026 drinks options priced in US$ per person per night, with a 10% saving for pre-cruise purchase on My Cunard and higher onboard equivalents. The Beers, Wines and Spirits Option (drinks up to US$13.50 per serving) varies by voyage length; non-alcoholic options and a Dining and Drinks Option (for 75+ night voyages) are also listed. Always verify the live price and inclusions for your exact sailing on My Cunard before paying, as Cunard states prices can change.
Cunard publishes drinks options under “A World of Drinks” in US dollars, per person per night. The page shows a 10% pre-cruise saving, with onboard prices in brackets. Crucially, the Beers, Wines and Spirits Option price changes by the length of your voyage, segmented into four duration bands. The non-alcoholic options carry a single displayed price per night (with the same pre-cruise and onboard amounts shown across the bands on the current page). A Dining and Drinks Option appears for very long voyages only. For UK travellers, that means you’ll likely compare a US$ per-night package price to a mix of bar charges that may be taxed in certain waters (for example, Spanish IVA) and settled in US$. Your bank or card provider will convert the total to sterling at its rate. If you want a framework to evaluate value, head to our hub, [Are cruise drink packages worth it?], then come back to apply it with the Cunard-specific bands below.
On the current UK page, the Beers, Wines and Spirits Option includes beers, wines and spirits by the glass up to US$13.50 per serving. The non‑alcoholic options are separate products: Premium Non‑Alcoholic, Speciality Hot Drinks, and Soft Drinks are not automatically included with the alcoholic option. For very long voyages (75 nights or more), a Dining and Drinks Option appears. While dining in the venue, it includes beers and wines by the glass up to US$13.50, soft drinks, speciality hot drinks and non‑alcoholic cocktails, plus a 20% discount on drinks excluded from the option during the meal. It is marked unavailable for shorter voyages on the page we reviewed. Cunard does not publish a complete UK à la carte bar price list in the sources we’ve used here, so to do a like‑for‑like comparison you should check the live menus for your sailing in My Cunard or in the onboard app once you embark. Avoid basing your decision on old menus from forums or other lines.
The key threshold to understand is the per‑serving cap: US$13.50 for the Beers, Wines and Spirits Option, and US$13.50 while dining for the Dining and Drinks Option. Drinks priced above the threshold are classed as excluded. The Dining and Drinks Option explicitly offers a 20% discount on excluded drinks during the meal; the page does not state that the Beers, Wines and Spirits Option provides a discount on excluded items, so treat those as outside the option unless your My Cunard confirmation says otherwise. When in doubt, ask the server before ordering or check the price in the ship’s app or menu.
