What's included in the Fred. Olsen Drinks Package?

What's included in the Fred. Olsen Drinks Package?

For many guests, the time spent sailing the world’s waterways on board one of Fred. Olsen’s smaller, more intimate cruise ships is the time to indulge and make the most of a well-earned escape away from it all.

With this is mind, Fred. Olsen’s Drinks Package Upgrade is another service offered to ensure your holiday is relaxing and enjoyable. By upgrading to the Drinks Package, from only £24.99 per person, per night* (£35 per person, per night on cruises of five nights or less), you can treat yourself to that extra glass or two of your favourite tipple, without having to worry about the bar bill at the end of your cruise – it’s already covered.

More than half of guests choose to take advantage of this fantastic upgrade. Enjoy selected white, red, rosé, sparkling and non-alcoholic wines by the glass and selected house beers, house spirits and soft drinks all day, every day throughout your cruise. Whether it’s a refreshing glass of juice or a pint of your favourite beer by the pool on a hot afternoon at sea, or a G&T to round off your day of exploration, it’s all included in the price.

What's included...

IN THE BARS:

  • A selection of soft drinks served by the glass: Pepsi, lemonade, tonic waters, juices and mineral/spring water
  • A choice of red, white, rosé, sparkling and non-alcoholic wines by the glass.
  • Selected branded beers and ciders
  • Selected house spirits: white rum, gin, vodka, whisky, brandy and Irish Cream
  • Cocktail/ Mocktail of the Day

IN THE RESTAURANTS:
