Cunard Drinks Packages: Prices, What's Included and Are They Worth It?

Cunard Drinks Packages: Prices, What's Included and Are They Worth It?

Cunard Drinks Packages: Prices, What's Included and Are They Worth It?  A glass of wine with dinner, a speciality coffee in the morning or a cocktail before the evening's entertainment - drinks are all part of the Cunard experience.    But if you're planning a Cunard cruise, you may be wondering whether to pay for drinks as you go or choose one of the Cunard drinks packages.    There are several options to choose from, including alcohol-free packages, alcoholic drinks packages and Cunard's newer Signature Packages, which combine drinks with Wi-Fi and dining credit.    Here's what you need to know before choosing.      What drinks packages does Cunard offer?  Cunard’s Signature Package gives you a convenient way to enjoy a wider selection of drinks and added onboard benefits throughout your cruise.    Upgrade to the Signature Package from £60pp per day and receive:  Everyday beverage collection – enjoy a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, including beverages priced up to $13.50 per drink Speciality dining credit – receive up to $50pp per cruise to spend at selected speciality dining venues Unlimited gelato Essential Wi-Fi plan  The Signature Package combines drinks with other onboard extras, making it an option for guests who want to add more to their cruise experience.    Package pricing and inclusions can vary by sailing, so always check the specific offer available for your cruise before booking.    What's included in the Cunard Beverage Collection?  The Beverage Collection is Cunard's everyday alcoholic drinks package.    It covers alcoholic and alcohol-free drinks priced up to US$13.50 per serving. If you choose a drink above that amount, you can pay the difference.    The package also includes the benefits of the Premium Alcohol-Free Collection and gives you 15% off Wine and Bar Academy activities and bottled wine.    It's likely to suit guests who enjoy a mixture of drinks during their cruise without necessarily choosing the most premium options.    What's included in the Premium Beverage Collection?  The Premium Beverage Collection gives you a higher drinks allowance, covering alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks priced up to US$20 per serving.    It includes options such as fine wines, champagne and craft cocktails, with the option to pay the difference on drinks above the US$20 limit.    You'll also receive 25% off Wine and Bar Academy activities and bottled wine, alongside the benefits of the Beverage Collection.    If you particularly enjoy wine, champagne or cocktails, this is the package to compare with your expected spending.    What if you don't drink alcohol?  Cunard has two alcohol-free options, so you don't need to pay for an alcoholic package to enjoy a drinks package.    The Alcohol-Free Collection includes unlimited fountain soda alongside selected soft drinks, juices and hot drinks priced up to US$4.50.    The Premium Alcohol-Free Collection increases the choice, including selected alcohol-free cocktails, bottled mineral water, freshly squeezed juices, smoothies, milkshakes and speciality hot drinks up to US$12.    For anyone who enjoys speciality coffee, mocktails or fresh juices throughout the day, the premium alcohol-free option could be worth considering.    Is there a limit on Cunard drinks packages?  Yes. While the packages offer a wide selection of included drinks, Cunard's terms and conditions include limits and restrictions on their use.    For alcoholic beverages, there is a maximum of 15 alcoholic drinks per guest during a 24-hour period. The limit resets at midnight.    The package is also intended for the individual guest who purchased it and cannot simply be used to buy drinks for other passengers.    Do both people in a cabin need a drinks package?  This is an important point to check before you buy.   Cunard's drinks package terms state that eligible guests sharing a stateroom generally need to purchase the same World of Drinks Collection, subject to Cunard's specific rules and exceptions.    That means you should calculate the cost for each eligible guest, rather than assuming one package can cover everyone in the cabin.    If you're travelling with children or guests who don't drink alcohol, check the terms that apply to your particular booking before purchasing.    Can you buy a Cunard drinks package onboard?  Yes, although booking in advance can offer better value.    Cunard currently states that its drinks collections can be purchased through My Cunard, with pre-cruise prices offering a 10% saving compared with the equivalent onboard price.    If you already know you'll want a package, it's worth checking your booking before you sail rather than waiting until you're onboard.    Are Cunard Signature Packages the same as drinks packages?  No – and this is where Cunard's current offering gets particularly interesting.    The newer Cunard Signature Packages bundle several onboard extras together rather than providing drinks alone.    There are two options:    Signature Package  The Signature Package includes:  Beverage Collection Essential Wi-Fi Dining credit  For a 10 - 14 night voyage, for example, the package currently costs £60 per person, per day and includes US$50 dining credit.    Premium Signature Package  The Premium option includes:  Premium Beverage Collection Premium Wi-Fi Dining credit  For a 10 - 14 night voyage, the current price is £70 per person, per day, including US$80 dining credit.    The amount of dining credit and the daily price vary according to the length of the voyage.    Cunard says Signature Packages can save guests up to 30% compared with purchasing the included elements separately, although availability is limited to eligible voyages.    Which Cunard package is right for you?  Rather than automatically choosing the most expensive option, think about how you'll actually spend your time onboard.    The Alcohol-Free Collection could suit you if you mainly want soft drinks, juices and hot drinks.    The Premium Alcohol-Free Collection is worth considering if speciality coffees, mocktails, smoothies and bottled water are more important to you.    The Beverage Collection could be a good middle ground if you enjoy wine, beer, spirits or cocktails but don't regularly choose premium drinks.    The Premium Beverage Collection makes more sense if champagne, fine wines and craft cocktails are likely to feature heavily in your cruise.    A Signature Package could be particularly interesting if you already planned to buy Wi-Fi and dine in alternative restaurants, as you're combining all three into one package.    Is a Cunard drinks package worth it?  That depends entirely on what you drink.    If you're likely to have several included drinks throughout the day, a package can make budgeting easier and means you don't have to think about the price every time you order.    However, if you only have the occasional glass of wine or cocktail, paying individually could work out better.    The best way to decide is to consider a typical sea day. Think about your morning coffee, drinks at lunch, afternoon refreshments, pre-dinner drinks and anything you might have in the evening.    Then compare what you realistically expect to spend with the price of the package.    Don't forget that the Beverage and Premium Beverage Collections also allow you to pay the difference when ordering drinks above the applicable price limit.    Don't overlook Cunard's wine collections  If you're primarily interested in wine rather than having a full drinks package, Cunard also offers wine collections.    These can be worth considering if you enjoy having wine with meals but don't expect to drink enough throughout the day to make a broader drinks package worthwhile.    It's another reason not to automatically choose a drinks package without first considering how you'll actually use it.    Cunard drinks packages: the bottom line  Cunard gives guests plenty of choice, from straightforward alcohol-free options to premium drinks packages covering wines, champagne and cocktails.    The key is choosing based on your drinking habits, rather than assuming a package is automatically the best-value option.    And with Cunard's new Signature Packages combining drinks, Wi-Fi and dining credit, there is now another option for guests who want to bundle their onboard extras.    If you're booking a Cunard cruise, compare the packages available for your sailing before you travel and look at the overall value rather than simply the daily drinks allowance.    Cunard drinks package FAQs    Q - How much is a Cunard drinks package?  A - Prices currently start from US$18 per person, per day for the Alcohol-Free Collection and vary depending on the package and length of your cruise.    Q - What is the most expensive Cunard drinks package?  A - The Premium Beverage Collection is the highest-priced standalone drinks collection, currently starting from US$63 per person, per day for longer voyages and rising to US$108 per person, per day for shorter voyages.    Q - Can I buy a Cunard drinks package before sailing?  A - Yes. Drinks collections can be purchased through My Cunard, and booking in advance currently gives a 10% saving compared with the equivalent onboard price.    Q - Can I choose an alcohol-free package?  A - Yes. Cunard offers both Alcohol-Free and Premium Alcohol-Free Collections.    Q - What is the difference between a drinks package and a Signature Package?  A - A standalone drinks package covers beverages, while a Signature Package combines drinks with Wi-Fi and dining credit.    Q - Are Cunard Signature Packages available on every cruise?  A - No. They are subject to availability and only apply to eligible voyages.

Five things you didn’t know about Cunard

Five things you didn’t know about Cunard

Five things you didn’t know about Cunard View Cunard Cruise Deals The Cunard experience is the ultimate both elegant and classic luxury, the cruise line is a timeless British institution sailing the sea to wonderful destinations onboard state of the art cruise ships. But don’t go thinking this makes Cunard Cruises stuffy and outdated! Let us show you five reasons why guests from all walks of life visit Cunard ships. 1. You can dine in a proper pub Between the fine dining experiences and exclusive areas, you may be surprised to find that Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 is home to the Golden Lion, a quintessential English pub with all the trimmings – darts, karaoke, live sports and ale. Alongside the dainty afternoon teas and black-tie dinners, this is a breath of familiarity and homeliness offered at no extra cost, so you can fully enjoy the typical pub atmosphere. Enjoy a classic pub lunch including favourites such as sausages and mash, cottage pie and fish and chips, while taking part in a pub quiz. Pens at the ready! 2. White Star Line service comes at no extra cost White-gloved waiters and silver platter sandwiches paint a picture of indulgent luxury – one which many consider to be out of budget or a little too ostentatious. However, on-board all three of Cunard’s ships guests can attend an afternoon tea in one of the largest ballrooms at sea without any extra cost or the suit and tie. The ships include this dining experience in your fare and, being such a treasured British tradition, it is not to be missed. With a looser dining dress code, enjoy being served a range of finger sandwiches, cakes and pastries, accompanied by a harpist or string quartet to set the mood. Choose from a range of 19 varieties of tea included in the specially selected Twining’s Ritual collection – these also come with a set of three hourglass timers, each depicting the relevant time for your selected tea to brew. Afternoon tea is a daily event on-board Cunard, but the Queens Room can only hold a select number of guests, so it is best to get there early. 3. There is a planetarium on-board Cunard isn’t all black tie events, gallery viewings and classical recitals. Enlighten yourself with Cunard’s Enrichment Programme to learn a new skill or develop a hobby, as well as Cunard’s INSIGHTS®, a programme of talks from experts in film-making, politics, science, history and astronomy. Lecturers are invited to celebrate Space Week, Fashion Voyage or The New Yorker Voyage, including guest speakers such as Olympic champions, Broadway stars and a former head of MI6. Even the Royal Astronomical Society visits occasionally! On-board the Queen Mary 2, visit the only Planetarium at sea as it plays host to ‘Illuminations’ – a show of high tech astronomy and virtual reality paired with informative talks and guided stargazing from the RAS. 4. You can bring your dog Seeing Cunard’s ornate décor and luxury furnishings, you would find it hard to imagine it being a home for four-legged family members.

Cruising the Norwegian Fjords

Cruising the Norwegian Fjords View Norwegian Fjords Cruises Few destinations can rival the phenomenal beauty and exhilarating experiences of Norway.  From spectacular waterfalls to magnificent mountains, the stunningly rugged natural scenery is sure to astound anyone who visits. As if the natural landscape isn’t breath-taking enough, the vibrant cities and enchanting villages that make up the ports of Norwegian Fjords Cruises are rich in history, art and culture. If you’re keen to experience the wonders of a cruise to Norway, we have a few handy tips to ensure your time in Europe’s northernmost country is as perfect as possible! Which Cruise Lines offer cruises to Norway? A great cruising experience is made up of two things – a fantastic destination, and an equally fantastic ship. Here are some of the cruise lines with ships offering cruises to Norway. P&O Cruises See Norway with P&O Cruises, where you can chill in oasis spas, enjoy marvellous shows, or enjoy a tipple at an on-board gin distillery. P&O will take your to some of the most popular Fjord destinations including; Olden, where you can see the aqua blue ice of the Jostedal Glacier cascading down the stunning Oldedalen Valley, as you navigate the spindly fjords of Norway! Princess Cruises Experience the magnificence of Norway with all the comforts of modern cruising. Enjoy elegant wine bars, dazzling European-style piazzas, open-air movie nights under the stars, and lively Vegas-style casinos - all designed to elevate your journey through this breathtaking destination. Norwegian Cruise Line For a relaxing visit to Norway, consider a cruise that features amenities like infinity pools and glass-walled saunas for the ultimate in scenic comfort. Many itineraries include breathtaking destinations such as the coastal town of Ålesund, often praised as one of Norway’s most beautiful thanks to its distinctive Art Nouveau architecture. With thoughtfully designed onboard experiences and well-planned routes, these sailings offer an unforgettable way to explore the fjords. Celebrity Cruises Enjoy a Norway cruise with experiences designed for every kind of traveler. Unwind with a refreshing craft beer at a lively social bar, challenge friends to your favorite outdoor games on a real grass lawn, or dance the night away at a fabulous silent disco. You can also take a behind-the-scenes tour of the ship’s galley and kitchens to see where the culinary magic happens. Royal Caribbean If you're after an action-packed cruise to Norway, Royal Caribbean delivers with its Norwegian Fjords itineraries. On board, guests can enjoy thrilling activities like bumper cars, roller skating, skydiving simulators, laser tag, ice skating, and rock climbing. One standout feature is the unique viewing decks - often compared to the London Eye at sea and offering incredible panoramic views of the breathtaking fjords. MSC Cruises Visitors to Norway can enjoy a leisurely stroll beneath a dazzling sky dome on an indoor promenade or sip a delicious drink crafted by a Robot Bartender - all whilst enjoying the comforts of a modern cruise experience with MSC Cruises. Fred Olsen Cruise Lines Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines' smaller vessels are perfectly suited for navigating the narrower fjords of Norway, offering breathtaking views of the rugged landscape from onboard observation areas. Each ship is also equipped with inflatable RIB boats, allowing guests to explore more secluded corners of the Norwegian Fjords up close. Cunard Follow Viking trading routes with Cunard and explore fine art at sea, play a leisurely game of croquet on a ship with classic Art Deco elegance, or stargaze in the only planetarium at sea - all part of the refined experience aboard a Cunard voyage. What is the best time of year for Norwegian Cruises? The peak of the Norwegian Cruise season is between June and August, as this is when the weather is most optimum for hiking and for experiencing the midnight sun in the far north. However, for cruisers desperate to enjoy the spectacle of the world-famous Northern Lights, we advise travelling during arctic winter which takes place from late September to early March. This time of year is also ideal if you’re hoping to experience Norway’s snowier activities like dogsled rides and skiing. What are the top Norwegian Cruise destinations? Every port in Norway offers something unique and interesting. Here are some of the most iconic and unmissable spots: Bergen No Norwegian Cruise would be complete without a trip to beautiful Bergen, the Gateway to the Fjords. Nestled among seven hills, with the spectacular Mount Floyen as its backdrop, this exquisite cocktail of old and new architecture is full of things to see and do. Shop at the traditional Norwegian fish market, where flowers and handicrafts can be found alongside the seafood stalls. Or take a stroll through historic Bryggen, the city’s old wharf. This UNESCO world heritage site contains a museum where you can learn the fascinating details of life in medieval Bergen. Visit the Hanseatic Museum, housed in a 300-year-old cod liver oil warehouse. Or perhaps you’d rather take a trip to the 800-year-old Rosenkrantz tower, one time home of King Eirik Magnusson, or the medieval royal residence of Haakon’s hall. For more recent history, World War buffs shouldn’t skip the Bergenhus fortress. Music lovers, on the other hand, should see the home of Edvard Grieg, Norway’s most iconic pianist and composer. Oslo Whilst not all Cruises to Norway stop in the Capital, it’s worth finding one that does. Oslo is a dream city for art fanatics, housing the Edvard Munch museum (the artist best known for The Scream) as well as the Vigeland and Ekeberparken sculpture parks. Plus, with the amount of incredible street art on display, the whole city is like a giant open-air gallery. The city is also full of amazing museums, including the Nobel Peace centre, the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History, and the Kon-Tiki museum. Ålesund Architecture enthusiasts will love the folklore-inspired Art Nouveau style of this vibrant port. Kayak through the Brosundet canal to view the city’s fantastical buildings. Or learn about their construction at the Art Nouveau centre of architecture. If you want to work up a sweat, you can hike 418 steps to the Mount Aksla viewpoint. Or to gaze over Ålesund’s heavenly landscape in a more relaxed manner you can access the same spot via the Bytoget city train. Other notable spots include the Sunmøre Open Air museum, the exceptional artwork of the KUBE art museum, or Northern Europe’s largest saltwater aquarium- the Atlanterhavsparken. Molde Named the ‘Town of Roses’ in honour of the delightful rose gardens that cover the port, Molde is one of the prettiest and best-smelling places in Norway. Admire 222 mountain peaks from the town’s Varden viewpoint or pay a visit to the fascinating Romsdal folk museum. For those taking Norwegian Cruises in July, you may get to experience Moldejazz- Europe’s second oldest jazz festival. The church above the city is also well worth hiking up to, as it was decorated by Norway’s leading artists. And if that isn’t enough art for you, you can also visit the Møre and Romsdal art centre. Tromsø Tromsø is sure to be a favourite port if you like a drink, with more pubs per capita than anywhere else in Norway! However, it’s not just great for bars. Gaze on the magnificent iceberg shaped Cathedral, learn about arctic expeditions at the Polar Museum, or climb the 12,000 step Sherpa staircase up Mount Storsteinen. Honningsvåg Only 21 miles from Europe’s northernmost point, Honningsvåg is one of the best locations for experiencing either the Northern lights or Midnight Sun, depending on the time of year. That isn’t the only draw of this wonderful town though. It also boasts a fabulous pine forest, and you can sip delicious beverages at the Artico ice bar. Honningsvåg is yet another port that art lovers should not miss, as it is home to the Nordkappmuseet, Once Upon a Dream and West of the Moon art galleries. Flåm The quaint village of Flåm is most well-known for its railway. Trains departing from Flåm offer a glorious ride through the nearby scenery, which includes the breath-taking Kjoffossen waterfall and the Aurlandsdalen (Norway’s Grand Canyon). Near to Flåm is Njardarheimr, a living Viking village where you can learn Norse history from incredible Viking tour guides. Stavanger If you like museums that are on the quirkier side, Stavanger is the port for you. Pay a visit to the Norwegian Canning Museum or the Norwegian Petroleum Museum to learn the history of two of Norway’s biggest industries. Stavanger isn’t only known for its unusual museums though. Another claim to fame is the rainbow-hued houses of the old town. No visit to Stavanger would be complete without a stroll down Øvre Holmegate- the Colour Street. Another key Stavanger location to visit is Pulpit Rock, named one of the nation’s most remarkable sights by Lonely Planet. Olden This charming port is best known for the nearby majestic Birksdal Glacier. However, the Glacier is not the only attraction. Take the Loen sky lift up to Mount Hoven to bask in stunning panoramic views. Or pay a visit to Olden’s quaint wooden church. Åndalsnes The mountaineering capital of Norway is wonderful for hikers young and old. There are a number of excellent trails to follow, from climbing Mount Neskalska to the easier and more child-friendly Litlefjellet hike. One major attraction of Åndalsnes is the awe-inspiring Trollsveggen mountain wall (Troll Wall)- Europe’s tallest vertical rock face. Kristiansand A port packed with activity, Kristiansand has something for everyone. The zoo and theme park are fantastic for families, whilst thrill seekers will love the Aquarama waterpark. If you want to immerse yourself in Norwegian history, you can visit the open-air museum comprised of over thirty historic houses, or instead pay a trip to the Cannon Museum at Møvik fortress. Art lovers can wander around the SKMU art museum. Those looking to relax can take a calming and scenic train ride along the Setesdalsbanen railway line, on a train that is over a century old. And, on a sunny day, you can chill on the white sands of the Bystranda beach. What to pack for a Cruise to Norway? On top of the usual items packed for a Cruise (toiletries, formal wear, etc) there are a few important items to bring on Norwegian Fjords cruises in particular. Layers: Norway is a cold country. Even if you visit in the summer months it’s handy to have plenty of cardigans, hoodies, jackets and thermals to layer up with. Hiking boots: With plenty of Norwegian Fjords cruises offering hiking-based and other outdoorsy excursions, you’ll want the appropriate footwear. Waterproofs: With Bergen being the rain capital of Europe, you’ll want to make sure you have raincoats and umbrellas in your luggage Knitwear: If you’re taking a cruise to Norway from September to March, or if you are travelling into the Far North at any time of year, you’ll need to pack jumpers, woolly hats, earmuffs, scarves and gloves. Swimwear: To enjoy the pools on-board the ship, and to partake in the many water-based excursions of Norwegian Cruises such as Kayaking you’ll need a swimming costume. You can also bring your own wetsuit if you’d rather not wear a rental.   Binoculars: So you don’t miss a single detail of those fabulous views. Preparing for Norwegian Fjords Cruises Once you’ve booked your cruise to Norway, you’ll need to look through the cruise itinerary to plan your dream trip. Book excursions in advance to avoid disappointment and research the ports you will be visiting to plan the sights you want to see.
