If you searched for msc drinks package prices 2026 uk full list, you’ve landed in the right place. This article gives a clear, practical and fully up-to-date (2026) rundown of what MSC Cruises charges for drink packages for UK guests, with a full list of package options, ship examples and money-saving tips. Expect prices in £, comparisons with P&O, Cunard and Marella, and pointers to current 2026 offers.
MSC’s 2026 drink package range for UK passengers includes the Soft Drinks package, Premium Drinks package, Premium Plus (or Top Shelf) package, Sparkling & Wine by the Glass bundle and Kids/Teens options. Typical 2026 UK prices range from around £8-£12 per day for soft packages up to £55-£65 per day for top-shelf options, with ship-by-ship variation and frequent promotions.
In 2026 MSC’s drink portfolio sold to UK guests remains structured to suit different budgets. The most common choices you’ll see on MSC Virtuosa, MSC Seashore, MSC Bellissima and MSC Meraviglia are: Soft Drinks package (non-alcoholic), Premium Drinks package (standard cocktails, beer, wine by the glass up to a value limit), Premium Plus or Top Shelf (increased value limit including premium spirits), Sparkling & Wine by the Glass and a children’s package. MSC has kept things relatively simple in 2026, but note that what’s included and exact price can alter by ship and itinerary.
When we say 'full list' we mean every drink package MSC offers to UK guests for 2026 sailings and the typical per-day prices you should expect to see. Below I list packages with the typical inclusions and recommended buying strategies. Where possible I give ship-specific prices — for example, prices on MSC Seashore can be £2-£5 higher than on some older ships for the same package during peak summer 2026 sailings.
Let’s unpack the numbers above. The Soft Drinks package typically covers fountain soft drinks, bottled water (limited litres per day) and selected juices. The Premium Drinks package usually covers drinks up to a fixed value — in 2026 MSC’s standard is drinks up to approximately £8-£10 per serving, meaning most standard cocktails, beers and house wines are included. The Premium Plus or Top Shelf option broadens that ceiling to about £15 per serving in 2026, allowing most premium spirits, cocktails and many wines by the glass. Wine-by-the-glass bundles are aimed at moderate wine drinkers who want a cheaper option than the full drinks package.
