Norwegian Cruise Line Free at Sea Hawaii Beverage Package Guide
Norwegian Cruise Line offers a special version of its Free at Sea beverage package exclusively aboard Pride of America in Hawaii. Unlike NCL’s standard fleetwide beverage package, the Free at Sea Hawaii Beverage Package includes a selection tailored specifically to Pride of America, with regional Hawaiian spirits and beers alongside cocktails, wine, soda, juice and other beverages.
I verified the photographed flyer against Norwegian Cruise Line’s current information. NCL confirms that the Free at Sea Hawaii Beverage Package is exclusive to Pride of America sailings, and the photographed flyer is marked as available for 2026 sailings. NCL’s current online terms should always take precedence because package prices and inclusions can change.

What Is the NCL Free at Sea Hawaii Beverage Package?
The Free at Sea Hawaii Beverage Package is Norwegian Cruise Line’s beverage package specifically for Pride of America.
NCL currently confirms that the package is applicable only to Pride of America sailings. Eligible guests can order up to two beverages per person per transaction.
The package includes a particularly interesting selection of Hawaiian and regional brands that aren’t emphasized in NCL’s standard fleetwide beverage package.
The photographed 2026 flyer also advertises an onboard limited-time offer of $45 per person, per day, including gratuity. Because this is specifically identified on the flyer as an onboard limited-time offer, passengers should not assume that price will apply to every Pride of America sailing.

The photographed 2026 flyer also introduces a Free at Sea Plus Hawaii Beverage Package, which expands the standard Hawaii package with top-shelf spirits and additional premium beverages.

However, there is an important pricing point for anyone reading this after the flyer was printed: NCL’s current online Free at Sea Plus terms advertise Free at Sea Plus at $49.99 per person, per day. Because Norwegian can change promotions and package pricing, passengers should use the price displayed for their actual reservation rather than relying solely on the photographed flyer.

Is Starbucks Included?
The regular Free at Sea Hawaii Beverage Package does not include unlimited Starbucks.
The photographed flyer offers an Unlimited Starbucks Package for $18.25 per person, per day and states that it must be purchased separately from the Free at Sea Hawaii Beverage Package.
Free at Sea Plus, however, adds Starbucks coffee. NCL’s current terms describe the benefit as unlimited Starbucks with one drink per visit.
This is an important distinction for passengers who regularly purchase specialty coffee aboard Pride of America.

Connoisseur Selection
Some of NCL’s most expensive beverages remain outside the regular package structure.

Final Thoughts on the NCL Free at Sea Hawaii Beverage Package
The Free at Sea Hawaii Beverage Package is quite different from Norwegian Cruise Line’s standard beverage offering because it was created specifically for Pride of America. The inclusion of Hawaiian and regional brands such as Pau Maui vodka, Fid Street Hawai‘i gin, Mahina rum and Kona beer gives the package a distinctly local focus.
The photographed 2026 flyer also provides a useful look at the difference between the standard Hawaii package and Free at Sea Plus. The regular package already covers a broad range of spirits, cocktails, beer, wine, soda, juice and water, while Free at Sea Plus moves into top-shelf spirits, premium wine and Champagne, Starbucks, energy drinks and premium bottled water.
The most important thing to watch is pricing. This flyer contains specific onboard and upgrade prices, while NCL’s current online offers and terms can differ. For that reason, the menu is an excellent guide to the drinks and brands offered aboard Pride of America, but the price shown in a passenger’s current NCL reservation should be treated as the final price for that particular sailing.
