TUI River Cruise – Drinks Prices and Menus

If you are taking a river cruise with TUI, you may be wondering how much the drinks cost onboard.

I’ve taken two river cruises onboard the TUI Skyla, and below are menus from both the main lounge and the club lounge when I was onboard.

All drinks prices are inclusive of VAT and service charges. What you see is what you pay.

The prices and drinks available may vary, so these menus are for illustrative purposes only.

How do You Pay For Drinks on a TUI River Cruise?

All drinks bought on a TUI River Cruise are charged to your cabin and paid for at the end of the cruise. Cash is not accepted.

When ordering, you’ll be asked for your cabin number.

What Drinks Are Included On TUI River Cruises?

Beer, wine, and soft drinks are included at mealtimes on TUI river cruises.

Water is always included, and a coffee/tea machine is available 24 hours a day at no cost. Each cabin also has tea and coffee-making facilities.

There is a red, white, and rose wine option included with meals.

In theory, there is no limit to the number of beers, wines, or soft drinks you can have with meals.

In reality, we found that only refills of wine were offered without asking and we had to ask for refills of soda/beer.

The crew seemed very busy, so I didn’t like to ask for too many refills, although they were always happy to get them.

There are charges for beer, wine, soft drinks, and any other drinks outside of mealtimes unless you upgrade to All-inclusive.

Main Lounge Menu

The drinks on this menu are also available in the main dining room and on the top deck. Here is the ship’s default menu.

There is a variety of soft drinks, cocktails, beer, and wine available.

Club Lounge Drinks Menu

The club lounge, located just outside the main dining room, has a different menu. This is a more premium area of the ship, and the drinks cost a little extra.

It is a cosy, relaxing space.

It’s worth noting that there is a free-to-use coffee machine in the atrium and additional seating there. We would on occasion make ourselves a free cup of tea or coffee and then drink it in the club lounge during the day, it wasn’t ever busy and it was a nice place to sit.

Upgrade To “All Inclusive”

You can upgrade at the time of booking if you prefer all of your drinks to be included.

Book our All Inclusive drinks package, which includes drinks outside of mealtimes. Prices start from £21 per person, per night. 

Tui River Cruises

As far as I can tell, there are no restrictions on what you can drink and everything available behind the bar is included.
