MSC Drink Packages and Menus

These are the latest MSC drink packages and menus for 2025. MSC Cruises’ drink packages are available on all MSC Cruises ships. Whether sailing on the latest MSC Virtuosa, MSC Seaside or the MSC Fantasia, you can find the perfect all-inclusive drink package for your stay. We have recently travelled with MSC, where we downloaded the very latest MSC Virtuosa drink menus, which you can find in this post.

Everything you need to know about MSC Drink Packages Menus with Prices for 2025 and 2026

For an MSC drink package to be worth the money, you need to work out exactly what you would drink on your vacation. For instance, a coffee in the morning, sodas or cocktails by the pool, a wine paired with dinner and a few beers in the evening would easily cover the daily rate and work out cheaper than purchasing drinks separately.

You can log in to your cruise booking to get the price of your cruise drink package. But read on for some more guidance on the rough prices of the drink packages and prices of the drinks to gauge whether you will need a package. Use this guide on MSC cruise ship packages and the menus to see what is included. We personally prefer a drinks package, as by the time we have totted up a glass or two of wine at lunch and dinner, followed by a cocktail or two, it comes out cheaper. Use our drink calculator below to find out whether it is better for you to purchase the drinks package.

MSC drink packages and menus the ultimate guide for 2024

Wherever you are sailing, whether it’s North America, South America, Caribbean itineraries, or the Mediterranean, the drinks will be the same. However, all MSC cruises reflect where they are cruising. The beverage package packages are the same; the only thing that changes is whether the drink menu is in pounds, euros, or dollars.

If you are sailing out of Saudi Arabia, no alcohol will be served, and bars will be shut until you sail out to international waters. This is not the case for other neighbouring countries such as the UAE, Doha, Dubai and Qatar. These are places where the bars will be open.

New MSC Drinks Policy

Starting December 18, 2024, the new Premium Extra Package will include a daily maximum limit of 15 alcoholic beverages. Any additional alcoholic beverages exceeding this limit must be purchased at full price. There is no limit on non-alcoholic beverages, and guests are welcome to purchase additional alcoholic drinks if desired. MSC Yacht Club guests will continue to enjoy unlimited drinks within the Yacht Club area; however, the 15-drink daily limit will apply in all other areas of the ship.
