P&O Cruises All-Inclusive Packages Explained: What’s Included & Is It Worth It? 

P&O Cruises has unveiled new all-inclusive packages, designed to make cruising even easier - and better value - for guests sailing from March 2026 onwards. By bundling drinks, Wi-Fi and speciality dining into one simple upgrade, these packages allow you to relax onboard knowing some of the most popular extras are already taken care of. 

If you’re considering a P&O Cruises holiday and wondering whether all-inclusive is right for you, here’s a clear breakdown of what’s included, how the packages work and who they’re best suited to. 

 

What Are P&O Cruises’ All-Inclusive Packages? 

P&O Cruises’ all-inclusive packages are optional upgrades available on cruises of five nights or more. Rather than adding drinks, internet access and speciality dining individually once onboard, these packages combine them into one convenient daily price. You can save 32% compared to buying on board! 

There are two options to choose from: 

  • All-Inclusive Classic Package 
  • All-Inclusive Deluxe Package 

Both are designed to suit different cruising styles - whether you’re happy with familiar favourites or prefer premium extras. 

All-Inclusive Classic Package: What’s Included 

The Classic Package offers excellent value and is ideal for guests who want the essentials covered without paying for premium upgrades they may not use. 

Included in the Classic Package: 

  • Classic Drinks Package 
    A wide selection of drinks including beers, wines, spirits, cocktails, soft drinks, Costa Coffee and Teapigs tea - perfect for socialising or relaxing throughout the day.
  • Essential Wi-Fi 
    Stay connected with access to emails, messaging apps, social media and general browsing while at sea. 
  • Speciality Dining Credit 
    Enjoy onboard credit to spend in one of P&O Cruises’ speciality restaurants, ideal for a date night or a special occasion. 
  • Soft Drinks for Children Included
    Guests under 18 sharing a cabin with two adults on the package receive the Refresh soft drinks package at no additional cost

 

All-Inclusive Deluxe Package: What’s Included 

If you would prefer a more premium experience, the Deluxe Package builds on the Classic option with upgraded inclusions. 

Included in the Deluxe Package: 

  • Deluxe Drinks Package 
    Everything from the Classic package, plus an extended range of premium spirits, wines, cocktails and beers.
  • Ultimate Wi-Fi 
    Faster connection speeds, ideal for video calls, streaming and higher internet usage. 
  • Enhanced Speciality Dining Credit 
    A higher dining credit allowance, giving you more freedom to enjoy P&O Cruises’ speciality dining venues. 
  • Soft Drinks for Children Included 
    The same added benefit for under-18s travelling in the same cabin as two adults with the package. 

How Does the Speciality Dining Credit Work? 

Instead of being limited to a set meal, the speciality dining credit is added directly to your onboard account. This allows you to choose when and where you dine in selected speciality restaurants. 

The value of the credit varies depending on the length of your cruise - meaning longer sailings give you more opportunity to enjoy P&O Cruises’ standout dining experiences. 

Why Choose an All-Inclusive Package? 

Choosing an all-inclusive package can enhance your cruise in several ways: 

Easier Budgeting 

 With key extras included upfront, it’s easier to manage your holiday spend and avoid unexpected costs onboard. 

Greater Convenience 

No need to think twice about ordering drinks, using Wi-Fi or booking speciality dining - it’s already included. 

Better Overall Value 

All-inclusive packages are typically better value than purchasing each element separately once onboard. 

Flexible Choice 

Whether you opt for Classic or Deluxe, you can choose the package that best fits how you like to cruise. 

When and How Can You Book? 

  • Available on cruises of five nights or more 
  • Applies to sailings departing from March 2026
  • Must be added at the time of booking 
  • Cannot be added later or purchased onboard 

P&O Cruises’ new all-inclusive packages offer a flexible and convenient way to get more from your cruise holiday. From everyday favourites with the Classic Package to premium upgrades with Deluxe, there’s an option to suit a wide range of cruising styles. 

With drinks, Wi-Fi and speciality dining already covered, you’re free to focus on what really matters - enjoying your time at sea.
