Cunard Drink Prices & Bar Menus
From signature cocktails and premium whiskies to wine, Champagne, gin, vodka, and rare spirits, here’s a complete look at the current Cunard drinks menu and bar prices available across the fleet.
Whether you’re sailing on Queen Anne, Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, or Queen Elizabeth, Cunard offers one of the most sophisticated beverage programs at sea. Unlike many mainstream cruise lines that focus on frozen cocktails and poolside drinks, Cunard leans heavily into classic cocktails, premium spirits, curated wine lists, and one of the strongest whisky selections you’ll find on any cruise ship.
On this page you’ll find actual menu photos and drink prices from Cunard’s bars, making it easier to budget before your cruise or decide whether purchasing one of Cunard’s beverage packages makes financial sense.
As always, menu availability and prices can change over time, but these are among the newest Cunard drink menus currently available.
Is the Cunard Drink Package Worth It?
Before looking at the menus, it’s worth comparing these prices with Cunard’s beverage packages.
Cunard currently offers several beverage options, with the most popular being the Beverage Collection, which includes cocktails, spirits, beer, wine by the glass, specialty coffees, soft drinks, juices, and many other beverages up to a set dollar value per drink. Premium options raise that limit even higher.
Looking through these menus, one trend becomes obvious:
- Most standard cocktails cost $13.50 to $15.00
- Standard spirits generally cost $11.00–$14.00
- Premium whiskies and rare spirits cost significantly more
- Wine by the glass generally ranges from $12.00 to $20.50
If you typically enjoy:
- 3–4 cocktails per day,
- a glass of wine with dinner,
- specialty coffee,
- bottled water,
- or soft drinks,
the beverage package can become worthwhile fairly quickly. On the other hand, guests who only have one or two alcoholic drinks per day will usually spend less by paying individually.
One nice aspect of Cunard’s current packages is that drinks priced above the package limit generally only require paying the price difference rather than purchasing the entire drink separately.
