2. They’re great value

You’re spoilt for choice with the variety of drink and refreshment options on board. Each of our four packages have their own unique inclusions to cover all tastes and budgets, giving them unbeatable value.

 

The Refresh drinks package is ideal for those who prefer cool, refreshing soft drinks on tap. Whereas with the Deluxe drinks package, you can enjoy unlimited non-alcoholic drinks and up to 15 alcoholic drinks per day, including an incredible array of beers, spirits, cocktails, and wines by the glass. You can even sample our exclusive Marabelle Gin and Golden Tide Rum with your mixer of choice. Our bar menus have also been updated and now include handy colour-coded icons so you can see exactly which drinks are included in which package.

 

Plus, you can use your loyalty discount when purchasing a package in addition to the 10% saving when buying before your holiday. With all this to choose from, you really don’t want to miss out.

3. They make life on board even easier

Purchasing a drinks package means you know exactly what you’re spending on drinks every day so you can therefore budget in advance. So many drinks are included, so you can say yes to an intriguing new cocktail or simply sip your usual as you drink in the magnificent views.
