# How much is the Seabourn Cruise Line drink package?

Seabourn Cruise Line drink package **+1 888-449-3560** Experience all-inclusive luxury, premium spirits, fine wines, and exceptional value tailored for sophisticated travelers worldwide.


Seabourn markets itself as an ultra-luxury cruise line with many inclusive amenities. Within its description of the guest experience, it notes that “premium spirits and fine wines are available on board at all times.”
That suggests many drinks are already part of the fare. Indeed, according to the official Seabourn site, complimentary premium spirits and fine wines are included.
What this means in practice: guest cabins come fully stocked with a mini-bar (certain preferences applied), open bars and lounges serve wines and spirits, and dining venues often include wines by the glass. With such a high level of inclusion, the “typical” drink package seen on other cruise lines may not be as strictly necessary on Seabourn.
This contrasts with many mainstream cruise lines where alcoholic drinks, premium spirits, cocktails, and wine by the glass are often add-ons.


## Is there a specific drink package?

While Seabourn’s inclusive model means many beverages are already covered, there is still mention in independent forums and fan communities of additional beverage or wine-collector packages.
For example, the “Wine Collector Package” on Seabourn allows guests to select favorite wines from a Reserve Wine Menu for an additional fee.
However, many forums point out that there is **not** a standard “drink package” in the same way it is found on many large cruise lines (where you pay a daily fee for unlimited cocktails, beer, wine, etc.). Because of the inclusive nature of Seabourn’s fare, the need for a separate drink package is less—for many guests, their included drinks suffice.
That said, some sailings or itineraries may offer optional upgrade packages for certain premium wines, top-shelf spirits, or special labelling. Some third-party sites suggest beverage packages priced at around US $89 per person per day and more premium versions around US $109 per day. Note that these figures are from independent sources and not always directly confirmed by Seabourn.
Given this, if you see a quoted headline price like “drink package: US$89 per person/day”, these may reflect older or third-party-brokered offers rather than a fixed Seabourn published rate.


## Sample pricing and what to expect

To give you a clearer picture:

* Some third-party websites list a “Classic Drink Package” at roughly US $89 per person per day.
* A more elevated “Premium Drink Package” is sometimes quoted at approximately US $109 per person per day.
* In addition, a “zero proof” (non-alcoholic) package may exist for those who do not wish alcoholic beverages—sample quotes around US$30 per day appear in some forums.
* Be aware: drink package fees (where they apply) often have an added gratuity surcharge—around 20 % in some cases.
  These prices are **not** always guaranteed, vary by sailing, by itinerary region, by season, and may not be formally part of the published Seabourn rate. Because the base fare already includes so many beverages, many guests do not need to purchase an extra beverage package.


## What’s included if you do purchase an upgrade

If you choose to purchase an upgraded beverage or wine collector package onboard Seabourn, you can expect:

* Access to a wider selection of wines (especially from the Reserve Wine Menu) and certain premium bottles.
* Possibly premium spirits or top-shelf liquors not included in the standard inclusive offering.
* The ability to pick handfuls of wine bottles in advance, store them in the ship’s wine cellar, and enjoy them during your voyage.
* For non-alcohol drinkers, a non-alcoholic “package” may include specialty coffees, bottled waters, juices, smoothies, and more frequent soft-drink offerings.
  Importantly: you should always check the fine print before purchasing because items like very rare vintage wines, ultra-premium champagnes, imported spirits, or specialty coffees may still require extra payment beyond a “package”.

## Should you buy it? Decision-factors

When deciding whether to purchase a drink package or upgrade on Seabourn, consider the following:
**1. How many drinks per day will you consume?**
If you plan to enjoy several cocktails, premium spirits, fine wines by the glass, or imported bottles each day, an upgrade may make sense. On the other hand, if you mostly drink wine at dinner and maybe a cocktail or two by the bar, the inclusive drinks may cover your needs.
**2. What is already included?**
Because Seabourn already includes spirits and fine wines in the fare for many venues, you may find you don’t need to pay extra. Often you’ll have access to a strong selection without paying more.
**3. Itinerary and ship region**
Sailings in remote regions, expedition-style voyages, or long itineraries may have fewer complimentary perks or may see surcharges for certain drinks. Conversely, shorter cruises in standard regions may have more inclusive value.
**4. Suite type and loyalty status**
Guests in higher suite categories or with elite status may receive upgraded drink inclusions or perks that reduce the need for a separate package.
**5. Usage vs cost**
As with any “per-day” drink package, the key question is: will you get your money’s worth? If the package is US$89 per day, you’d need to drink enough high-priced items to justify that cost. On the other hand, because many drinks are included, you might already be ahead without additional cost.
**6. Timing of purchase**
Some cruises allow you to add or upgrade drink/wine packages prior to sailing or early in the cruise. Waiting until you board may allow you to see the available drink list and decide how much you’ll be using it.


## Example scenario

Imagine you are on a 7-day cruise with Seabourn. The inclusive fare already covers wine by the glass at lunch and dinner, spirits at open bars, cocktails, soda, bottled water, and more. If you purchase a “drink package” at US$89 per day, the total additional cost would be about US$623 for the week (7 × $89).
To break even, you would need to consume a high volume of drinks that would otherwise cost more than that difference. Given many of your drinks were already complimentary, you may find that your total “extra” drinking cost would have been much lower. On the flip side, if you are very heavy on premium spirits, ultra-premium wines, high-end champagnes, then the upgrade might make sense.
In many reviews, frequent Seabourn guests say that they rarely feel the need to buy an upgrade because the inclusive offering is generous. One Reddit user commented:

> “We keep looking at other cruise lines, but once we compare costs with drink packages and things we tend to end up right back on Seabourn!”
> Indicating that on Seabourn, part of the attraction is fewer hidden or add-on costs for drinks compared to other lines.

## Tips to get the most value

* Review the drink menu (bars, lounges, dining rooms) once onboard to understand what is included and what costs extra.
* If you plan to drink mainly wine with dinner, ask what wines by the glass are included and whether certain bottles require upgrade.
* Consider upgrading later rather than pre-purchasing blindly—see how much you drink in the first day or two.
* If traveling with a companion who drinks little or non-alcoholic beverages, check if a non-alcohol drink package is offered (or if you can just pay per drink for those in that category).
* Ask whether gratuities (service charges) are included in the package price or if an extra fee will be added.
* If your cruise includes special events or destination-focused wine tastings, find out whether those are part of the inclusive fare or require extra payment.
* Consider overall value: since you’re paying a premium cruise fare already, the incremental cost of drinking may be less punitive compared to other lines.
