This guide to the Oceania beverage packages explains the various drinks options on board. Indeed, there are different Oceania drinks packages available so it is important to know what’s included when choosing the package that is right for you. In addition, there is also the option of paying per beverage.
About the Oceania beverage packages and drinks options
The Oceania drinks packages can be good value, especially when you consider alcoholic beverages may not always be included in the price of your Oceania Cruises fare. There are four Oceania beverage packages:
- House Select package.
- Prestige Select package.
- House Select Upgrade.
- Wine By The Bottle package.
The House Select and Prestige Select packages offer drinks by the glass, while the other lets you choose from a selection of bottled wine.
In addition, there is also a daily Wine With Lunch promotion as well as two happy hours.
House Select package – US$39.95 per person per day
The House Select beverage package is the least expensive. It offers champagne, wine and beer by-the-glass, but only during lunch and dinner at dining venues (including in-room dining).
The price of the House Select package includes gratuities.
It is important to note that only your drinks are covered by this drinks package. In other words, you can’t order drinks for a friend using this package.
Prestige Select package – US$69.95 per person per day
The Prestige Select package is the premium Oceania drinks package. With it you can order whatever you like, including top-shelf spirits, cocktails, champagne, wine and beer. You can order these by-the-glass from any bar, restaurant or with in-room dining during bar operating hours.
The Prestige Select Oceania beverage package has recently increased in price by US$10 per person per day, but nonetheless it still represents good value for money. The package also includes gratuities.
It is important to note that only your drinks are covered by this drinks package.
House Select Upgrade – US$30 per person per day
If you have pre-purchased the House Select beverage package, or it is part of a cruise fare promotion like Simply More, you may upgrade to the Prestige Select package for an additional US$30 per person per day.
Wine By The Bottle package – from US$332.50
Oceania also have a wine by the bottle beverage package. A range of whites, reds, rosés and late-harvest wines are available.
At the time of writing almost all of these wines were new-world varieties. It’s worth noting that the champagne is a Brut Nicolasfeuillatte Rosé – a very nice drop.
All bottles are priced at US$47.50 each. The price includes gratuities. This drinks package must include at least seven bottles. It’s worth remembering that once ordered, you cannot add extra bottles to the package.
The bottles are not refundable, however you can take home any bottles that you do not drink on board.
Wine With Lunch – US$7.50 per glass + gratuity
Each day Oceania Cruises have a special Wine With Lunch promotion. This includes one white wine and one red wine offered at a reduced price. The daily Currents newsletter will advertise details of each wine.
The Wine With Lunch promotion is available in the Grand Dining Room, the Terrace Cafe and Waves Grill.
Happy hours
In addition to the Oceania beverage packages, there are two happy hours each day:
- 5:00pm – 6:00pm in Horizons and Martinis
- 10:30pm – 11:30pm in Horizons
During these Happy Hours guests can purchase two of the same drink for the price of one. However, the offer only applies to the standard Bar List. It excludes the Martini’s menu, as well as single malt scotches, OXs, the cocktail of the day and the wine of the day.
Visit the Oceania Cruises website to learn more.
About the Author: Jason Kerr
How does one find out what specific wines are included in the wine by the bottle package?
How does a person who chooses that package access the bottles?
Are they available only at one specific place and during specific hours?
Can a husband and wife both access the same package?
Dear Richard
Thank you for your inquiry.
The wines offered in the Oceania Wine By The Bottle Package change seasonally. By way of example, here is a list of the wines offered on board Oceania Regatta in March this year. All bottles are priced at USD47.50 and seven bottles are requiered for the package.
You access any of the bottles you have selected by simply alerting the sommelier in any of the restaurants.
The Oceania Wine By The Bottle Package can be consumed by a husdand and wife together. i.e. you do not need to purchase a separate wine package for each.
I hope this helps.

Hi, if you have the house package can you upgrade to premium
Hi Karen
Thanks for your question. It’s a good one. I’ve spoken to the good people at Oceania Cruises and you can upgrade prior to your sailing if you purchased in advance. You may also upgrade on embarkation day.
If you wish to upgrade some days into the cruise you may do so. You will be charged for the Prestige Select package as per the number of days remaining.
Hope this helps
Jason Kerr
Managing Editor
I had the same questions. What happens if you don’t have all seven bottles? Can you take them home?
Dear JC
The good people at Oceania Cruises tell us that you can indeed take home any bottles you don’t consume on board.
Hope this helps

They do not have any detailed information about the beverage packages online, even if you have made a paid reservation. I found out more here than on their website – hoping its all true onboard.
Hi Selena
I’m glad you found our information so useful. We pride ourselves on the accuracy of our stories. Indeed, the details here have been comfirmed with Oceania Cruises.

The House Select Package.
It is unclear as to whether this package is only when one is at table enjoying lunch or dinner, or whether it includes pre dinner drinks. A number of our group have endeavoured to interpret the wording without success
Please could you clarify?
Kind Regards,
John.
John.
Dear John
The House Select Package includes unlimited champagne, wine and beer with your lunch and dinner meals. If you were to have a pre-dinner drink at the table it would be included. However, it is our understanding that it does not include drinks consumed in a bar outside the restaurant.
Kid regards

Can you have the wine in your cabin?
Hi Reginald
If you have the Prestige Package you can order drinks in your stateroom or suite through room service. If you have a Wine By The Bottle Package you can also consume these bottles in your room.
I hope this helps.
Jason Kerr
Managing Editor
In addition: with prestige, you can order wine by the glass in your room. If, however, you call roomservice to bring, let’s say, a second or third round, they’re fast learning: the next day they’ll bring a bottle
Are non alcoholic drinks tea and coffees included in the cruise price with oceana?
Dear Alan
Thank you for your question. Yes, non alcoholic drinks, tea and coffees are all included in the cruise fare on Oceania.
Jason Kerr

If you go off the radar, bring your own wine, and pay the corkage fee, can you drink it anywhere on the ship? If I pay the corkage fee in the dining room, can I take my bottle to the lounge?
Hi Anne
Thank you for your question. It is my understanding that you can indeed take your bottle to the lounge after paying the corkage. Hope that helps.

The joy of a cruise to my elderly mother is be able to have a glass of champagne when ever she wants. That’s all she will drink. Is that feasible and if so how?
Dear Caroline
I would suggest your mother simply order champagne by-the-glass. Alternatively, she could purchase a drinks package but that may be a more expensive option. I hope this helps.
Jason Kerr
Managing editor
My wife would not make use of the prestige package so can I buy just one package or do you have to buy for everyone in the suite
Dear Konietzko
Thanks for your question. Yes, all adults in the same stateroom must purchase the Prestige Package.
Happy New Year
Jason Kerr

Trying to work out whether to upgrade to the premium package. Please can you give some idea as to the price of a G&T and a Margarita?
Hi Lyn
Thank you for your question. When I last sailed with Oceania Cruises in August 2019 the price of a Margarita was US$11.00. From memory a G&T was about the same. Indeed, most basic cocktails like Mai Tai, Aperol Spritz, Long Island Ice Tea, Tequila Sunrise and Manhattan range from US$11.00 to US$11.25. Hope this helps with your decision.
Happy New Year

Hi,
Does the house package include a drink in the bar before dinner?
Dear Leah
Thanks for your question. The fine print says House Select beverages may only be conusmed in the dining venues.
Hope this helps
Jason Kerr

Can you take a drink purchased in bar or restaurant back to your state room / suite?
Hi Paul
Yes, you can take drinks back to your stateroom.

Leaving on Cruise Feb 1 – the packages are not worth the money for me.
do you know prices for beer per the bottle and wine by the glass ?? this is the route we will be taking for our drinks.
By chance any picture of the drink menu?
Hi Craig
In August 2019 the price of a Corona or Heiniken beer was US$7.50. A Budweiser costs US$6.50. Oceania have a selection of American, Australian, Argentinean and European wines. These range in price from US$10 to US$11.50 per glass.
Cocktails start from US$10.00
Regards
Jason Kerr
Managing Editor
I understand that you can bring wine on board Do you know what the corkage fee is
Hi Janet
Thank you for your question. If you consume the wine in your stateroom there is no corkage fee. However, if you drink it in a public area or dining venue the corkage fee is typically US$25.

Hi is bottled water included in the house beverage package? And is sparkling water included?
Hi Suzanne
Thanks for your question. Oceania Cruises include both still and sparkling water in your cruise fare, as well as coffee and tea. There is no extra charge for any of these beverages regardless of whether or not you have a drinks package.

Jason Kerr
Managing Editor
Hi Jason,
If we purchase the Prestige Select package, how are we identified as having the package? Do we wear wrist bands? Give our suite number each time?
Many thanks!
Karen
Hi Karen
Thank you for your question – it’s a good one. There are no wrist bands, rather you are issued with a new room key card which indicates your beverage package. You give this to the server each time you order a drink.
I hope this helps.
Regards
Jason Kerr
Managing editor
Fabulous! Many thanks, Jason!
Oceania now allows each cabin to bring six bottles of wine on the ship when they board. But it is unclear whether one can also bring wine onboard when coming back from a port. Do you know whether this is possible? (By the way, this page is really informative and helpful — thanks)
** UPDATED 27 Feb 2020
Dear Glenn
Thank you for your question.
According to the onboard literature, guests can bring 6 bottles of wine per stateroom on board during the voyage, for consumption in your stateroom or suite. A corkage fee will apply.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
Jason Kerr
Managing editor
Can I use the onboard spend allowance to upgrade between drinks packages?
Hi Kevin
Thanks for the question. According to Oceania Cruises you can now utilize shipboard credit prior to departure to purchase shore excursions, land tours, onboard beverage packages, culinary classes and dining experiences. I recommend consulting your travel advisor or Oceania Cruises for more information.

Jason Kerr

We are cruising in September 2020 with Oceania and have the basic drinks package with lunch and dinner included.
We would like to upgrade to the premium package. Can you tell me how much this would be and can we buy before the cruise or once we are on board.
Thanks
Hi Scott
Thanks for your question. Yes, you can generally upgrade your beverage package. The House Select package costs US$39.95 per person per day, while the Prestige Select package is US$59.95 per person per day. I would recommend consulting your travel advisor or Oceania Cruises to find out the exact upgrade price.
Regards
Jason Kerr
Managing Editor
do both adults in the cabin have to purchase the drink package? I might be interested in the House Select, but my cruising partner does not drink beer or wine, and doesn’t drink enough alcohol to really justify the Prestige Select package.
Dear Deb
Thanks for asking your question. Yes, both guests in the same stateroom must purchase the beverage package. So it might be more cost effective to simply purchase your drinks by the glass.
Regards
Jason Kerr

We are cruising this summer, and are trying to figure out if the wines included in the Prestige package are worth the extra cost over the House package. I can’t find a list anywhere that shows the different wine offerings for the two packages – is this published anywhere? We generally drink California and Oregon U.S. wines and French Champagnes, ranging from $80 – $120 per bottle, but are open to trying new things.
Hi Frances
Thanks for your question. The wines included in the House Select are generally the same as those offered in the Prestige package. The main difference is that the House Select package only lets you order at lunch and dinner, whereas the Prestige package lets you order at any time during bar hours. The wines on offer change semi-regularly depending on reprovisioning.
Also, the Prestige package offers premium spirits and cocktails (like those served from the Martini list in Martinis Bar).
I hope this helps.

Jason Kerr
Managing Editor
Hi Jason,
As I understand, the House Select Package is only for the dining experience. When on vacation we generally have hors d’oeuvres in one place and dinner in another place.Is it possible to have drinks and hors d’oeuvres in one restaurant and have dinner in another restaurant aboard ship?
Hi Angela
That’s an interesting question. My understanding is that, yes, you could have drinks and hors d’oeuvres in one restaurant and dinner in another. Bare in mind that some dining venues do require reservations.

We are choosing a cruise that offers a beverage package as one of the O-life choices, the other choices are $1000 shipboard credit or 10 free excursions.
If we choose the beverage package does that cover both my husband and myself for unlimited wine and beer during lunch and dinner or only one person?
Hi Elaine
Thank you for your inquiry. Generally speaking, if you book an Oceania cruise with O-life Choices the amenities are per stateroom. In other words, a beverage package amenity would cover all guests in that stateroom. However, I would advise you to confirm this with your travel advisor.

I am planning a Oceania cruise and was reading the new 2020 beverage information.
However I am perplexed. On Feb 6 you stated a guest can bring 6 bottles of wine on board for room consumption but there IS a corkage fee.
Then on 2/13 you stated if you consume wine you brought on board in your room there is no corkage fee.
Please clarify
Regards
Barbara
Hi Barbara
Thanks for your comment. Indeed, what is and isn’t included in cruise line beverage packages can be tricky to ascertain and is changeable. That said Oceania presently allow you consume bottles wine in your stateroom without a corkage fee, but if you take the bottle to a public area or dining venue a corkage fee of US$25 applies.
I hope this helps.

Hi Jason. I will be traveling with 3 ladies on an Oceania cruise next September (hopefully). We are all Martini drinkers and love Martinis Bar. What is the current price for a premium vodka Martini there now?
Thank you
Kate.
Dear Kate
Thank you for your question. Very exciting to have a cruise booked!
The price of vodka martinis in the Marinis Bar on Oceania Cruises is as follows:
– Ketel One US$11.50
– Smirnoff US$11.50
– Van Gough US$11.50
– Absolut US$11.50
– Stolichnaya US$11.50
– Tito’s (gluten free) US$12.00
– Belvedere US$12.50
– Grey Goose US$12.50
– Beluga US$13.00
I hope this helps your planning.

Hi Jason. I have been reading the question and answers, and your information is more detailed than the Oceania web site! Great job. We are planning a Tokyo cruise and my question is: Can two people in the same cabin order different drink packages? Meaning, my wife (who doesn’t drink that much) would be interested in the House Select package, but I would be interested Prestige Select package. Is this allowed? Thank you, JD
Dear JD
Thank you for your question and your kind words. I’ve had to do some digging to find an authorititive answer. It’s good news! Both guests are not required to have the same beverage package. One guests may choose the House Select package, while the other can have the Prestige Select package. The important point is that both guests must have at least one beverage package each.
I hope this helps.

Hi
Sorry if you have covered this already.
Are you allowed to take spirits on board for consumption in your cabin. We will have a standard drinks package as part of our package but it does seem very restricting i e drinks only in the dining areas with meals.
Many thanks.
Hi Anne
Thank you for your question. According to the onboard literature, guests can bring 6 bottles of wine per stateroom on board during the voyage for consumption in the stateroom or suite. A corkage fee will apply if you consume the wine in one of the dining venues or bar areas. However, Oceania Cruises reserves the right to prohibit and retain other alcoholic beverages bought ashore for consumption on board the vessel.
I hope this answers your question.

Hi Jason.
Can you tell me if the premium Oceania drinks package includes all mixed drinks (ie Wallbangers) and liquers?
Information is scarce …
Thanks,
Alan
Dear Alan
Thank you for your question. The Prestige Select package covers mixed spirit drinks, so that should include a typical Harvey Wallbanger.
Hope this helps.

How large is ‘a glass of wine’ bought at the bar or at dinner?
Hi Annette
The wines on Oceania are generally poured at the table, rather than being measured (i.e. you simply order a glass of wine, instead of small or large).
Hope this helps.

Adding to your answer about a bottle of spirits in the room:
One can order from the Bon Voyage list for a bottle (or more) of spirits for the room. Last voyage I found a bottle of Balvenie 15 yr old single malt priced well below the market price at home.
Googling Oceania Bon Voyage gifts and scrolling to the section From The Bar will get you the list, send it to your stateroom and enjoy.
Cheers.
Booking for the Riviera much later, but wondering. Is the fridge in the suites large enough for a bottle or two, like the Viking ships.
Thanks Peter from Canada
Hi Peter,
Thanks for your question. The fridge is a typical ‘bar fridge’ size. In my experience there was enough space for at least one bottle of bubbles.
I’m sure you will enjoy Riviera, especially the great onbaord dining scene.

Jason Kerr

I just read through all the comments and thank you for all this great information, very helpful!
If we buy the Prestige package and order drinks through room service for the room, is there a room service fee that would not be included?
Dear Linda
When I last sailed with Oceania (just before the pandemic) I was not charged a service fee for ordering in-room beverages on the Prestige Select package.
I hope this helps

Thank you, thankyou, this info is horribly hard to find.
Wow….we have 35 cruises but this is our first on Oceania….you have provided an absolutely wonderful service with your direct and specific comments….MANY thanks.
Are cappuccinos and lattes extra on Oceania cruise ship.
The web site says all cruises include complimentary select wines and spirits, beer, soft drinks, bottled water, and hot beverages throughout the ship.
Dear Mary
Thank you for your question. Alcoholic beverages are not included in the price of your Oceania Cruises fare, however teas and coffee are. That includes cafe latte as well as cappuccino.
I hope this helps.

Cruising on Riviera in December. I know about the option of buying 7 bottles of wine. But is it possible to buy a bottle of wine at dinner (instead of buying by the glass) and how much would be a bottle of European red wine?
Is espresso free or I have to purchase a house select drink package?
On 18 day cruise only 6 bottles allowed per stateroom? No coverage fee if we drink in our room?
Dear Yelena
Thanks for your question. Yes, espresso coffee is free without purchase of a drinks package.
Hope this helps and enjoy your cruise.

Can you tell me if we purchase the House package and want to upgrade to premium is it cheaper or any different to do so before we leave or on the boat
Hi Denise
Thanks for your question. It is one that a lot of people are curious about. However, there is no cost difference – unless Oceania have an occasional O-Life special offer.
I hope this helps.

Cruising on Riviera in May. I know about the option of buying 7 bottles of wine. But is it possible to buy a bottle of wine at dinner (instead of buying by the glass) and how much would be a bottle of red wine? If we didn’t finish it at that meal, can we save it to enjoy in our stateroom or with a future meal? The price per bottle of wine is around US$47.00, is that correct?
Thanks! lots of great info here that I didn’t find in other sites.
Dear Jean
Thank you for your question. Yes, you can buy a bottle of wine at dinner. Bottles of wine are typically priced from USD50 and up. Indeed, the menu in the Grand Dining Room often includes a recommended red and white wine bottle. You could also choose from the wine list.
Also, Oceania sometimes have Bin End Wines on sale with up to 30% discount on selected bottles.
You should be able to enjoy your bottle in the room if you don’t finish it at dinner. However, you might have to ask the waiter to have it sent to the room rather than taking it yourself. Health and safety regualtions can preclude passengers carrying bottles of wine through common areas.
I hope this helps.

Hi Lisa
If you consume the wine in your stateroom there is no corkage fee. However, if you drink it in a public area or dining venue there will be a corkage fee of about US$25.

Do you know the reason that bottles in the wine package must be selected in advance? I would think you buy a 7 bottle package, see what you will order for dinner, and select a bottle from the list that would pair with the food.
Very good comprehensive information. Thank you!
If you choose the 7 bottle offering, I kept my list with me. Then after ordering dinner I asked for the bottle of wine to suit my dinner selection. The way O works is that if you open a bottle you have the choice of taking it with you (via delivery to cabin) or letting O store it by cabin number. So next time you want that wine ANYWHERE on the ship you simply ask for that bottle. if you didn’t finish it you can request it. BUT it takes maybe 10-15 minutes to fetch it.
I opened carry-on wines in my cabin often, then took a large glass (which I stopped by a bar to ask for a nice wine glass) to the dining room as if I had bought it in one of the bars. It was NO problem. The maitre d’ even carried it to the table for me:)
Is cognac (not brandy) included in the Prestige select package? And what about Irish Coffee?
Regards,
Aage
Hi Aage
Thank you for your question. When I last sale on Oceania Cruises (July 2022) VSOP cognac was included in the Prestige package. Also, Irish coffee should also be included as it is simply coffee with a spirit.
Hope this helps.
Jason Kerr

Dear Aage
Yes, on my most recent sailing (July 2022), VSOP Cognac was available on the Prestige Select package.

Greetings, sailing on the Mariner in an Oceania suite with the premium beverage package. If we decide to order a full bottle of wine with dinner, do we get a discount, Also is there somewhere we can review the offerings for the six bottles that come with our suite? Thanks
Dear Todd
Thank you for your question. If you have either the House Select or Prestige Select beverage package you get a 15% saving on bottles from the Wine List, as well as a 20% saving on the La Reserve wine pairing dinner. The bottles that come with your suite will usually vary depending on where and when you sail.
I hope this helps.

Hi Jason. Can you buy a drink package when you embark on Oceania or do you have to purchase online before?
Jan
You can pre purchase the beverage packages
If you take the Beverage package as part of the O life perk then NO
The discount on La Reserve is only if you PURCHASE the Prestige package not if you upgrade for the House select from O life perk
Dear Jason, very good information on this website !
How can I get the comprehensive list of all available wines to choose for the 7 wines package
When ordering the Prestige Package, which wines are included to choose from ?

Can you buy a bbottle of Vodka in port and carry it onboard for the Cabin?
Dear Eric
Restrictions on bringing alcohol on board are most often in force at embarkation. Typically you may bring alcohol on board if purchased in a port-of-call. In my expereince Oceania have not asked any questions when I’ve returned from shore with a bottle of local spirits.
Regards
Jason Kerr
Managing Editor
I don’t drink alcohol so my question is about the free soft drinks on board please.
(1) Do they serve Coke on board; and
(2) If yes, does it come in cans/bottles or it is only served out of a machine?
Many thanks. This is a great website.
Is there a corkage fee on the house wine package?
Dear Gary
In my experience corkage is only charged on wine you might bring on board yourself.

With the prestige drinks package are all beers by the glass can you order a bottle/ can of beer
Oceania is currently transitioning from O-life to the Simply more pricing structure. Simply more includes the House Select package in its fare. Does this mean you can still upgrade to the Prestige Select package for just $30 per person per day? Do you pay the upgrade charge at booking or must you do so after boarding?
Dear John
Yes, you are correct about the new Simply More offering. I am currently sailing on Riviera and can confirm that the House Select Upgrade is charged at USD30 per person per day to your shipboard account. You can upgrade to this from the House Select Package included in the Simple More cruise fare. You may do this in advance through your travel advisor or once on board.
Kind regards

If, after paying $25 corkage fee, we don’t finish the whole wine bottle during dinner, can we bring the same partially full bottle for the next meal and don’t incur another “corkage” fee? When we travelled on Viking ,they would store partially full bottle for us in the special room after labeling it and giving us a special receipt to be used at the next meal.
Crikey I may be late to ask now. Ive read a few times about the packages ect and im looking forward so booking. There’s 1 question about the alcohol select.. ‘During open hours’ May seems strange to some but im an insomniac and can sometimes sleep through a day (awful, I know). Im willing to pay for the drinks package but any idea what times the bars are open and closed?
I think id just pay anyway but are they closed through the night? Isnt there food or buffet in the night? Maybe im more suitable to a previous more 24/7 cruise line. (Many thanks).
