Looking for the P&O Azura drinks menu in 2026? Here’s what P&O publicly shares, how to check what’s included on your sailing, the latest package prices we verified on 26 Sept 2026, and a clear decision checklist to choose between packages and pay-as-you-go.

Searching for the P&O Azura drinks menu 2026? Here’s the short version: P&O does not publish a complete, Azura‑only 2026 bar price list on its public site, but it does provide the official drinks package framework and a dated fleet sample menu to help you orient before you sail. This guide explains exactly what P&O confirms for Azura, how to check the current menu and package symbols on your own sailing, and the latest package prices we verified on 26 September 2026. We’ll keep things practical and UK‑focused, so you can decide confidently whether to pre‑purchase a package, pay as you go, or simply rely on the included soft drinks available at mealtimes.

Where you can drink on Azura

P&O’s Azura page highlights several venue types that matter for drinks planning. You’ll find Planet Bar for a sophisticated, unwind‑and‑soak‑up‑the‑views feel, the London‑inspired pub vibe at Brodie’s, and a choice of deck bars for those sea‑breeze moments. This tells us the ship offers varied settings—quiet cocktails, a pint in the pub, and casual poolside refreshment—without promising a fixed list of brands, cocktails or prices in each venue. It’s context for where you might order, not a substitute for the on‑board menu that you’ll actually use to make choices.

What this does not tell us: P&O does not publish an Azura‑specific, bar‑by‑bar 2026 menu with itemised prices on the public pages we checked. You should not assume that any cocktail, coffee style, spirit brand, or price you see in a dated fleet sample applies identically in every Azura venue or on every sailing. P&O’s own terms say pre‑cruise and on‑board app menus are samples and content and prices may vary on board. That caveat should sit beside any price discussion until you verify on your sailing.

How to check the current menu and package inclusion on your sailing

Because P&O uses a dated fleet sample as orientation, the reliable way to know what you can order within a package on Azura is to use the operator’s process: orient with the public fleet sample, then rely on the package symbols on the on‑board menus and ask the bar team if you’re unsure. P&O’s help pages confirm that menus display package icons identifying what’s included and specifically advise guests to speak to a bar waiter about packages on the sample deck‑bar PDF. If you’re pre‑planning, also review the drinks package descriptions in My P&O Cruises for your booking to see the current wording and any purchase windows shown for your departure.

Before sailing: Open P&O’s drinks help page and click to view the sample menu for orientation. It’s a fleet example, not Azura‑definitive.
Note the file date: the current PDF identifies itself as FLEET 05/2025. Treat it as illustrative until you see the on‑board menu for your cruise.
In My P&O Cruises: Read the current package descriptions attached to your booking. Do not rely on older screenshots—terms and prices may change.
On board: Use the menu symbols to see which drinks are included in your chosen package. If in doubt, ask the bar team; P&O’s own sample tells you to do exactly that.
Keep the caveat in mind: P&O says app and pre‑cruise menus are samples and that content and prices may vary on board.

P&O drinks‑package prices checked for 26 September 2026

P&O offers four drinks packages for cruises of five nights or more: Deluxe, Classic, Alcohol‑free and Refresh. The table below lists the operator’s published figures we checked on 26 September 2026. These are per person, per day rates. Always re‑check the official P&O page for your exact sailing because rates, purchase windows and terms can change, and P&O’s pages, not this guide, govern what you’ll pay.

What each package is designed to cover

P&O clearly tiers its packages. Refresh is the entry point for soft drinks on tap and fruit juice. Alcohol‑free adds non‑alcoholic beers, ciders, cocktails, wines and spirits plus selected Costa Coffee and Pukka tea. Classic adds selected alcoholic beers/ciders, cocktails, prosecco by the glass, wine by the glass (175ml) and 25ml spirits, while keeping the soft and non‑alcoholic coverage from the lower tiers. Deluxe then opens up a wider range, explicitly including craft beer, 250ml wines, 50ml spirits, Perfect Serves, and the full Costa Coffee and Pukka tea range. Package icons on menus show which specific items qualify on your sailing.

Refresh: soft drinks on tap and fruit juice.
Alcohol‑free: everything in Refresh plus selected Costa/Pukka and a range of non‑alcoholic beers, ciders, cocktails, wines and spirits.
Classic: everything in Refresh and Alcohol‑free plus selected alcoholic beer/cider, cocktails, 125ml prosecco, 175ml wine and 25ml spirits.
Deluxe: everything in Classic plus an extended range covering craft beer, 250ml wines, 50ml spirits, Perfect Serves, and the full Costa Coffee/Pukka tea range.

Pay as you go: what remains included without a package

You do not need a package to enjoy basic refreshments on Azura. P&O states that guests can access complimentary tea, coffee and juice in the main restaurants at breakfast, and during food service in the buffet there are self‑service dispensers for water, coffee, tea and other soft drinks. Treat this as a mealtime‑service entitlement, not an all‑day, all‑venue promise. Elsewhere on the ship, individual drinks are charged to your on‑board account at menu price. P&O confirms that safe tap water is available on the ship and is served in Freedom and Club restaurants and buffets; bottled still and sparkling water are available to purchase. Do not assume refill stations on Azura—the reusable‑bottle note P&O publishes is specific to Arvia and Iona.

Breakfast in main restaurants: complimentary tea, coffee and juice.
Buffet during food service: self‑serve water, coffee, tea and other soft drinks.
Safe tap water: served in Freedom/Club restaurants and buffets.
Beyond these: order at bars and lounges and pay as you go unless covered by your chosen package.

Which route fits your cabin? A practical decision checklist

The right call depends on your party’s habits, your sailing length and how much you value convenience over tracking every round. Use this checklist to structure the decision without guessing individual drink prices.

Confirm your cruise length: P&O’s published package prices apply to cruises of five nights or more; check what shows for your sailing.
Check cabin rules: every adult in the same cabin must buy the same package if any adult buys one.
Consider children: if adults purchase Classic or Deluxe, P&O includes a Refresh package for children aged 17 and under in the same cabin.
Decide your focus: prefer lots of flexibility with alcoholic and specialty coffee options (Deluxe/Classic), or mainly soft/non‑alcoholic (Alcohol‑free/Refresh)?
Weigh convenience: a package removes mental maths and uses menu icons; pay‑as‑you‑go can be cheaper if you drink very little or mostly at mealtimes.
Check the current advance rate and any stated discount in My P&O Cruises for your booking.
Note the purchase window: P&O’s help page mentions up to three days pre‑cruise; the My P&O terms mention four days. Use your booking screens and terms on the day you buy.
Re‑verify on board: rely on the menu icons and ask the bar team for what’s included on your sailing.

All-inclusive upgrade: distinct from drinks-only packages

Separately from the standalone packages above, P&O markets all‑inclusive bundles on applicable five‑night‑plus holidays. These combine either the Classic or Deluxe drinks package with Wi‑Fi and dining credit, and the all‑inclusive page states they include up to 15 alcoholic drinks a day plus unlimited non‑alcoholic drinks. Keep this separate from the drinks‑only decision: do not assume the “up to 15” statement applies to standalone packages unless P&O’s current standalone package terms explicitly say so. If you’re weighing Wi‑Fi and speciality dining alongside drinks, compare the all‑inclusive bundle on P&O’s site with buying each element individually.

Azura dining context: where drinks meet meals

Azura’s dining line‑up spans speciality venues, included restaurants, poolside pizza and the buffet. That matters for drinks planning because you’ll encounter complimentary breakfast juice, tea and coffee in the main restaurants, and self‑serve dispensers during food service in the buffet, as P&O describes. Outside those settings, your order is either covered by your chosen package (look for the icon) or charged individually. While it’s natural to associate particular wines or cocktails with a named venue, avoid assuming specific stock or prices until you see the on‑board menu for your cruise.

How to read the on-board menu symbols

P&O uses icons on menus to show which items are included in each package. On the deck‑bar sample PDF, those icons are visible alongside items to illustrate the format, and the PDF itself advises you to ask a bar waiter about packages. On Azura, make a quick habit of scanning for your package icon before you order; where the icon is missing or you’re unsure, simply check with the bar team so there are no surprises on your account.

Budgeting without guessing individual drink prices

Because P&O’s public site doesn’t provide a ship‑specific 2026 price list for Azura, the safest way to plan is to combine the verified package rates with your own likely ordering pattern and the on‑board icon check. If you want to run the numbers more rigorously without inventing item prices, use our step‑by‑step method in the calculator guide and input the live package prices you see for your booking. Start with the included mealtime drinks, add your estimated bar orders by day, then compare that total with the per‑day package cost for each adult in the cabin. For a fleet‑level context about menu structure and categories, read our overview in P&O Cruise Drinks Menu 2026, then come back to the Azura‑specific verification steps here.

How and when to buy a P&O drinks package (and cancel if plans change)

P&O’s help page states you can add a drinks package at booking, through My P&O Cruises up to three days before sailing, or on board during the first two days. It also states that a 10% discount applies to packages bought at booking or through My P&O Cruises. Separately, P&O’s My P&O terms say packages can be purchased up to four days before departure. Because of this discrepancy, use the purchasing window shown in your booking portal and check the latest terms on the day you buy. If you change your mind, P&O says packages bought online in My P&O Cruises may be cancelled for a full refund up to three days before departure, while packages purchased on board are non‑refundable.

Cabin rules that can change the maths

P&O requires that each adult in the same cabin purchases the same package individually if any adult buys one. This matters for mixed‑preference cabins: if one adult wants Deluxe, all adults in that cabin must buy Deluxe. Families should note that when adults purchase Classic or Deluxe, P&O includes a Refresh package for children aged 17 and under in the same cabin. This can tilt the decision towards a package for families who would otherwise be on the fence—just remember to verify that this rule still appears on your booking and to read the current wording before you commit.

What about Azura’s Planet Bar, Brodie’s and deck bars specifically?

P&O’s Azura page highlights these venue types and their ambience—Planet Bar as a sophisticated space, Brodie’s as a London‑inspired pub, and multiple deck bars for outdoor refreshment. However, the operator’s public pages we reviewed do not provide an Azura‑only 2026 menu with itemised pricing or a bar‑by‑bar inclusion list. The right approach is to use the on‑board menu icons at whichever venue you visit. If you spot a favourite cocktail on the fleet sample, treat it as a format example rather than a promise for your Azura sailing, and check the live menu when you board.

If you prefer not to buy a package

Pay‑as‑you‑go remains straightforward: order what you like and the charge posts to your on‑board account. This can be sensible for light drinkers, those who prefer a glass at dinner only, or guests who plan to rely on the included breakfast and buffet beverages. Consider keeping a simple note of your orders on your phone for the first day or two; if your tally ends up close to (or above) the per‑day package rate, you can still buy a package on board during the early window P&O describes. Just remember that on‑board purchases are non‑refundable, so commit only once you’re comfortable.

How to avoid common planning mistakes

Don’t treat the fleet sample as an Azura 2026 menu: it’s dated FLEET 05/2025 and for orientation only.
Don’t assume a fixed pre‑cruise deadline: P&O’s help page (three days) and My P&O terms (four days) differ—use your live booking.
Don’t pick a different package for each adult in the cabin: P&O requires the same package level for all adults sharing.
Don’t forget included mealtime drinks: they change the break‑even without needing a package.
Don’t move the “15 drinks” statement to standalone packages: it belongs to P&O’s all‑inclusive bundles unless P&O states otherwise for standalone tiers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does P&O publish a full Azura drinks menu for 2026?

Not on the public pages we reviewed. P&O confirms Azura’s venues and provides a dated fleet sample deck‑bar menu (marked FLEET 05/2025), but it does not publish a complete Azura‑only 2026 price list. Use the sample as orientation only, then confirm on board using the menu icons and the bar team.

Which drinks packages are available on Azura in 2026?

P&O lists four tiers across the fleet: Refresh, Alcohol‑free, Classic and Deluxe. The operator says published prices apply to cruises of five nights or more. Always verify the package wording and availability for your exact sailing in My P&O Cruises and on P&O’s package pages.

How much do the P&O drinks packages cost in 2026?

When we checked on 26 September 2026, P&O published: Deluxe at £65 pp/day (5–14 nts) or £60 (15+ nts), with advance rates of around £60/£54; Classic at £55 pp/day (5–14 nts) or £50 (15+ nts), advance about £50/£45; Alcohol‑free at £29 pp/day, advance £26; Refresh at £16 pp/day, advance £14 (P&O Cruises, checked 1 Nov 2026). These are per person, per day and apply to cruises of five nights or more. Re‑check P&O’s site for your sailing as rates can change.

Are packages available on cruises shorter than five nights?

P&O’s published prices apply to cruises of five nights or more. The operator pages we reviewed do not set out definitive rules for shorter sailings. Check your own booking in My P&O Cruises to see what’s offered and at what rate for your dates.

Can I buy drinks individually on Azura without a package?

Yes. You can pay as you go, and the charges post to your on‑board account. P&O also provides complimentary tea, coffee and juice at breakfast in the main restaurants, and water/softs/tea/coffee in the buffet during food service.

How do I know whether a drink is included in my package?

Look for the package icons printed on the on‑board menus. P&O says these identify included items. If you’re unsure, ask the bar team—P&O’s own sample deck‑bar menu advises doing exactly that.

When can I buy or cancel a P&O drinks package?

P&O’s help page says you can buy at booking, in My P&O Cruises up to three days before sailing, or on board during the first two days; it also mentions a 10% discount when buying at booking or via My P&O Cruises. The My P&O terms separately reference purchases up to four days before departure. Packages bought online may be cancelled for a full refund up to three days before departure; on‑board purchases are non‑refundable. Because wording can change and pages conflict, use your live booking portal and the current terms on P&O’s site.

Do all adults in the cabin have to buy the same package?

Yes. P&O states that each adult sharing a cabin must purchase the same package individually if any adult buys one. Where adults purchase Classic or Deluxe, P&O includes a Refresh package for children aged 17 and under in the same cabin. Verify these rules in your booking before you purchase.

What drinks are included without buying a package?

P&O says you can have complimentary tea, coffee and juice in the main restaurants at breakfast, plus water, coffee, tea and other soft drinks from buffet dispensers during food service. Safe tap water is available and served in Freedom and Club restaurants and buffets; bottled water is available to purchase. Outside these settings, order at bar prices unless covered by your package.

Can I bring my own alcohol onto Azura?

According to P&O’s safety page, guests aged 18+ (21+ in USA ports) may bring up to one litre of wine or Champagne per person at first embarkation. An estimated £20 per‑bottle, per‑occasion corkage applies if consumed in dining rooms, bars, restaurants or lounges, and this price may change. Spirits are not permitted at first embarkation. Alcohol bought ashore during the cruise is held and returned near the end.
