Wine & Champagne Policy Guests may bring bottles of wine and champagne on board. When bottles are brought on board and served or consumed in any restaurant, public room area or in their stateroom, a corkage fee will be charged according to bottle sizes noted below.

Yes, you can bring your own wine or champagne on a Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) ship, but it is subject to specific rules and fees. Unlike beer and liquor, which are strictly prohibited and will be confiscated until the end of the cruise, guests are allowed to bring an unlimited number of 750ml bottles of wine or champagne on board. However, NCL charges a corkage fee for every bottle brought on, regardless of where it is consumed (even in your private stateroom). In 2026, the standard fee is $15.00 USD per 750ml bottle and $30.00 for a 1,500ml Magnum. Crucially, if you have a "Free at Sea" beverage package or have purchased a stand-alone drinks package, the corkage fee is waived. You must carry these bottles on in your hand luggage rather than packing them in checked bags to avoid delays during the security screening. Note that boxed wine is strictly prohibited, as the packaging does not allow for the same level of safety and quality inspection as glass bottles.
