What is included in Azamara's basic drink package?

Azamara beverage packages explained: what's included, pricing, top-shelf perks, and loyalty discounts to help you choose.

By CruiseBooking.com Editorial Team

An Azamara cruise is built around comfort, personalized service, and a drink menu that covers every kind of traveler — from wine lovers to cocktail enthusiasts to guests who just want a good mocktail by the pool. Here's a breakdown of what's included at each level, so you can pick the package that actually fits how you drink on vacation.

Complimentary Beverages: Included in Your Fare

Every Azamara cruise fare comes with a solid lineup of drinks at no extra charge:

What's Included:

  • Spirits: Standard vodka, gin, rum, whiskey, and more
  • Beer: A rotating selection of international brews
  • Wine: Two reds and two whites daily, plus a rosé and a sparkling wine by the glass
  • Non-alcoholic: Sodas, tonics, juices, espresso drinks, teas, hot chocolate, and bottled still and sparkling water

For a lot of guests, this covers the trip just fine — no upgrade needed.

Premium Beverage Package — $26.95*/person/day*

Step up to Premium and you get access to well-known name brands across spirits, beer, and liqueurs:

  • Spirits: Absolut, Ketel One, Stolichnaya, Johnnie Walker Red Label, Captain Morgan, Tanqueray, Bombay Sapphire, Disaronno, and more
  • Beer & cider: Heineken, Stella Artois, Guinness Draft, Corona Extra, Lagunitas IPA, Peroni, Strongbow, and others
  • Liqueurs: Campari, Aperol, Frangelico, Midori, Limoncello, Jägermeister, and more
  • Non-alcoholic: pecialty mocktails like the Berry-Banana Colada and Piña Colada, plus sodas, tonics, and juices

This is a good fit if you like variety and want to explore beyond the complimentary list without going top-shelf.

Ultimate Beverage Package — $34.95*/person/day*

The Ultimate package includes everything in Premium, plus the good stuff:

  • Top-shelf spirits: Grey Goose, Belvedere, Patron Silver, Don Julio Blanco, Woodford Reserve, Macallan Quest, Hennessy VS, and more
  • Liqueurs: A variety of options including Campari, Disaronno, Frangelico, Aperol, Midori, Ouzo, Limoncello, Pernod, Pimm's, Romana Sambuca, Southern Comfort, Tia Maria, and Jägermeister.?
  • Boutique wines by the glass: Fine wines not offered in the other packages
  • Signature cocktails: Available at bars across the ship, including the exclusive Atlas Bar
  • Premium water: Evian, Perrier, and San Pellegrino

If you know you'll be ordering top-shelf pours or signature cocktails more than once a day, this pays for itself quickly.

How to Choose

A few quick questions to ask yourself:

What do I actually drink?

Be honest about your typical order — no point paying for top-shelf whiskey if you're a two-beers-a-day person

Does the math work?

Add up what you'd realistically spend on à la carte drinks and compare it to the package price.

Am I an Azamara Circle member?

If so, factor in your discount before deciding between Premium and Ultimate.

Bottom Line

Whether you stick with the complimentary offerings or upgrade to Premium or Ultimate, Azamara's beverage program is designed so you're never short on options. Pick the tier that matches how you actually drink, and you'll get real value out of it from day one.

Prices subject to change; confirm current rates with Azamara before booking.*
