Planning a P&O cruise and wondering about the drinks packages? You're in the right place! It's not always as straightforward as it seems, and making the right choice can significantly impact your holiday budget and enjoyment. Let's dive in and demystify P&O's drink options so you can make an informed decision for your next adventure at sea.

P&O Cruises offers two primary drinks packages in 2026: **The Ultimate Drinks Package** (approx. £40-£45 per person, per day) which includes most alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages up to a £10-£12 price limit per drink, and **The Refreshment Package** (approx. £20-£25 per person, per day) covering unlimited non-alcoholic options like specialty coffees, soft drinks, and bottled water. Both packages require all adults in the same cabin to purchase a package, and the Ultimate package has a 15-alcoholic-drink daily limit.
P&O Cruises, a beloved British cruise line, offers a selection of drinks packages designed to enhance your holiday experience and help you manage your onboard spending. Unlike some other cruise lines that offer a multitude of tiers, P&O keeps things relatively simple, which I appreciate. For 2026, their main offerings cater to different preferences, whether you're looking for an all-inclusive alcoholic experience or simply want to keep hydrated with non-alcoholic options.
Understanding the specific inclusions and exclusions is crucial to avoid any unexpected charges on your final bill. This guide will break down each package so you know exactly what you're getting.
