If you are taking a cruise with Marella you might be wondering which drinks are included in the All-Inclusive drinks package.
All Marella cruises include an “All-inclusive” drinks package as standard.
When I was onboard the Marella Explorer 2 I put together this guide for others thinking about what might be included.
It is possible to upgrade to a Premium Drinks Package but in this post, we will focus on the drinks that are included in the cruise fare as standard.
Standard All-Inclusive Package (Available in All Bars)
A selection of hot drinks, soft drinks, cocktails, mocktails, beers, and wines are included in the standard “All Inclusive” packages.
There are many other drinks that are available in specific bars but these are the default drinks that you can order anywhere.
In addition to the below, there is also a kettle in every cabin and tea/coffee is available in the buffet and main restaurants free of charge. On each deck near the cabins, there is also a water machine where you can get chilled water.

Indigo Bar (Additional Included Drinks)
The Indigo bar is the home of the “Smoking Cocktail.”
The Smoking Cocktails cost a couple of pounds each – but even if you don’t order one it’s likely that you’ll smell them in the indigo bar (they smell amazing!).
It’s interesting to note that even the paid-for extra cocktails only cost around £2.50 each. On some other big cruise lines, these could easily cost £10 per drink!

The last Cruise I took with Marella was just after the Covid Pandemic. It was an absolute bargain – but there was lots of additional paperwork to be completed before the trip, which was an absolute nightmare!
