These are latest MSC drink packages and menus 2024. MSC cruise’s drink packages are available on all MSC cruise ships.

We have recently travelled with MSC where we downloaded the very latest MSC Virtuosa drink menus too you can find them in this post.
Everything you need to know about MSC Drink Packages Menus with Prices for 2024
For a 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 your cruise drink package price. 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.
Will you be getting off of the ship and going ashore? Use this guide on MSC cruise Ship packages and also the menus to see what is included? This also includes what drinks you get if you travel in Yacht club. We personally prefer a drinks package as by the time we have totted up a glass or two of wines 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 be it North America, South America, Caribbean itineraries or the Mediterrean the drinks will be the same. However all MSC cruises reflect where they are cruising. The beverage package packages are the same also 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 places the bars will be open.

We are soon to travel on the MSC Virtuosa and have an included Premium drinks package.
Is it possible to up grade to Premium plus. How much does it cost and is it better to do this on board or with the booking agent.
You can upgrade on the ship but it may be cheaper to do it before you go.
Goodmorning, I am trying to find out what is included in the easypackage. The menu’s that you show are in pound Sterling, the prices in the package is in Euro’s. Is a simple rum-And-coke included in the easy package, or should we upgrade.
Hi they normally have a selection of easy drinks like rum and coke on the menu. But this would not be premium rum
I’m sailing on the MSC Virtuoso just now (January 2022) and purchased the premium extra drinks package at time of booking in March 2020.
For the awareness of future passengers contrary to this website advice MSC have advised that the in cabin mini bar is pay only and not included in ANY of the pre paid packages.
Disappointing I know.
Hi thank you for the update we do try to keep content as fresh as possible. We will contact our MSC representative for an update on this change too.
The exception is in the Yacht Club. The Yacht Club drink package (which is always included in the cost of being in the Yacht Club) includes the snacks and drinks in the cabin mini bar. However, only beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages automatically get replenished. Anything else in the mini bar (snacks and spirits) will replenished only on request and that replenishment will inclur a charge.
Website says “premium drinks, with no price limit”. However this is no longer accurate, there is now a 13euro/15 dollar limit
Thank you for the update we will get that changed!
I hope you can help, do you know if MSC Curises have Dr. Pepper or Diet Dr. Pepper on board the ship Divina?
I have called MSC customer service about the Alcohol-Free Package and what Soft Drinks are available on board the Divina, however, they are unable to confirm what soft drinks that include. I am trying to find out if Dr. Pepper and Diet Dr. Pepper are soft drinks on board. Since the package is non-refundable if these soft drinks are not available, I would not purchase the package. I hope you can help with this question. If you need it my booking number is 41388483, thanks in advance for your help.
Includes:
• A wide choice of alcohol-free cocktails
• Soft drinks
• Energy drinks
• Mineral water
• Flavored water
• Fruit juices
• Coffee drinks (latte, espresso, cappuccino, etc.)
• Hot chocolate and hot teas
• Soft-serve ice cream
The Alcohol-free package can be enjoyed in our bars, self-service buffet, casual and main restaurants, Ocean Cay and other exclusive destinations.
Does not apply to our signature venues including Venchi 1878 establishments, Lavazza Coffee Shop and Jean Philippe Chocolate, Coffee, Crepes & Gelato.
Thanks for your help,
Jonathan B.
Hi I’m sorry I do not know if there is Dr Pepper onboard. I will see if i can find out
Hi there, me and my partner are going on the Virtuosa in September. Im not sure if you will know or if this is a stupid question but I can see at the British Pub, a price for a pint is £8. We have the easy plus package which covers up to 9 euros, will this be applicable for the £8 pint and other drinks? thanks 🙂
Hi are you sailing out of the Uk? The euro drink prices are different so where the mocktails are £7 on the uk Virtuosa menu the Euro menu I have just seen was 6. So i would imagine a £9 pint would be 8 euros if that helps. All of the bottled beers last week were in Euros and were from 6.50 euros to 7.50.
@Donna Vallance, yes we are! ahh i see what you mean, thank you very much 🙂
Hi,
We are deciding if we should get the Easy Plus or Premium Extra package. We sailed the Med on the Grandiosa last year with a Premium package which was up to €10/drink.
I understand Premium Extra is up to €13/drink but on the menus shown here the signature cocktails are £14 – DC oes this mean they’re not included in the package? When speaking to MSC on the phone they said Premium Extra was practically anything in a glass, including champagne.
Thank you!
Hi, It depends where you are sailing from. In the UK the MSC menus in Pounds always tends to be dearer then euros and then anything priced in dollars cheaper still. As in it will be €7 in Europe, £8 in uk and then about $6 in USA. The cocktails on the easy plus package are €7 in Europe but in the uk they have been dearer. The premium package covers pretty much everything except the signature cocktails. It includes all cocktails and premium cocktails. As far as im aware and in my experience last week ( in euros ) the prem extra doesn’t include the signature cocktails. These were priced in euros at €14 and the premium extra package said up to €13 euros. I hope this helps a bit of course its only from experience.
Hi – confused about whether to buy the Easy Plus for Fantasia sailing out of Athens in Sept. MSC website says includes drinks upto 8€ but not sure which wines/cocktails this will cover as your menus are in UK£?
Also have heard on a cruise forum that prices will increase from Monday 1 Aug?
Generally it is the same in euros and pounds. In the UK the MSC menus in Pounds always tends to be dearer then euros and then anything priced in dollars cheaper still. As in it will be €7 in Europe, £8 in uk and then about $6 in USA. The cocktails on the easy plus package are €7 in Europe but in the uk they have been dearer. The premium package covers pretty much everything except the signature cocktails. It includes all cocktails and premium cocktails. As far as im aware and in my experience last week ( in euros ) the prem extra doesn’t include the signature cocktails. These were priced in euros at €14 and the premium extra package said up to €13 euros. I hope this helps a bit of course its only from experience. Most of the cocktails are in the premium.
Hi,
Are alchoholic drinks sevred upon boarding? We are due to depart 2300 New Years Eve and hope we can get served prior to sailing.
Am I right in believing that only Saudi Arabia is a dry port?
Thanks
We have travelled on MSC to Dubai which is a no alcohol country. As soon boarded on the ship you can consume alcohol. However as far as I am aware there is a no alcohol policy in Saudi until your ship is 12 miles away. I would assume your ship will depart early to account for this. Please let us know how you get on!
Hello we travel to several cabins. if we don’t have the same drink packages, can we eat at the same table in the restaurant?
If you have separate cabins you need to check that they are linked so that you are sitting together in the dining room
Hi Donna , We are sailing out of Barcelona in November 22 on MSC Seaview , Can you confirm that the Easy plus package includes all drinks up to €10 . Some sites say only €8 so bit confused . Thanks x
It depends where you are sailing to some says it in euros and some dollars too. But the easy plus covers most cocktails other than premium
I am looking at a cruise leaving the UK next September. I am confused about the drinks pricing. Would the Easy Plus package cover the classic cocktails and a good selection of the cheaper brand of whiskies?
Yes the easy plus package includes the classic cocktails but not the premium ones. There is quite a lot of choice
Good morning,
Could you kindly provide the drinks list of MSC Divina for Summer 2023 to have a perfect indication of what lies under each package;
easy package – €6
easy plus package – €8
Premium extra Package – €13
The menus are the same on most of the ships. The closet we have to Divina is the Fantasia ones which are on this post
My wife and I are booked on a 7 day med cruise from Barcelona in June, she is teetotal , is there any way I can book a alcohol free package for her, and an easy plus package for myself.
it is generally for both in one cabin but if you you ring them and tell them you can normally will change it for you
