Cruise Advisor planning guide. Verify changing prices, policies and itineraries with the relevant provider before booking.
One of the most common questions I get asked by UK cruisers, especially those new to P&O, is: **do P&O Cruises do drinks packages?** The short answer is yes, they absolutely do, and in 2026, P&O offers a range of options to suit different tastes and budgets. Understanding these packages is key to managing your onboard spending and ensuring a relaxing holiday. Let's dive into everything you need to know about P&O's drink offerings, from pricing to what's included, so you can decide if they're right for your next voyage.
Yes, **P&O Cruises offers a variety of drinks packages in 2026**, including non-alcoholic options like the Refreshment Package (from £10.95 pp per day) and comprehensive alcoholic packages like the Ultimate Drinks Package (from £44.95 pp per day). These packages cover a wide range of beverages, helping you budget for your onboard drinks. Prices are accurate as of June 2026 and can vary by cruise.
P&O Cruises, a firm favourite among British cruisers, understands that drinks are a significant part of the holiday experience. To help guests manage their budget and enjoy their voyage without constantly thinking about the bill, they offer several drinks packages. These packages allow you to pre-pay for a selection of beverages, from soft drinks and speciality coffees to a wide array of alcoholic options, for the duration of your cruise. It's a system designed for convenience and, for many, peace of mind.
On my recent P&O Iona sailing to the Norwegian Fjords in May 2026, I opted for the Ultimate Drinks Package and found it incredibly convenient to simply order a latte in the morning, a soft drink by the pool, and a cocktail in the evening without worrying about the individual cost. It truly makes the 'all-inclusive' feeling more complete, even if it's not strictly all-inclusive in the fare itself.
