If you’re getting ready to sail on one of the luxurious Cunard Queens, you’re probably wondering whether one of the drink packages is worth the investment. After all, a few cocktails or lattes each day can really add up — and Cunard offers a variety of drink options to fit different preferences and budgets.

To help you decide if a package is right for you, we’ve created the Cunard Beverage Package Calculator below. It lets you input how many drinks you think you’ll have each day, and it compares that cost (including gratuities) to the price of the package. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast, a mocktail sipper, or a specialty coffee lover, this tool helps you make the most informed choice possible — before you set sail.

Now let’s break down what’s actually included in each of Cunard’s beverage packages, so you can pick the one that best fits your sipping style.
