Does MSC do all-inclusive?

Our all-inclusive cruise options and rich drink packages give you carte blanche to quench your thirst whenever you like and can be combined with a huge selection of cruise holidays.



In 2026, MSC Cruises offers an all-inclusive experience primarily through specialized packages and its luxury "ship-within-a-ship" concept, the MSC Yacht Club. While a standard fare includes accommodation and meals at the buffet and main restaurants, it is not "all-inclusive" by default as drinks (beyond basic water and tea at the buffet) and Wi-Fi typically cost extra. To achieve an all-inclusive feel, guests can book "All-in" deals that bundle the Easy Plus or Premium Extra beverage packages and internet access into the initial price. The MSC Yacht Club remains the ultimate all-inclusive option, providing 24-hour butler service, a dedicated private restaurant, and unlimited premium drinks and Wi-Fi as part of the suite's fare. For 2026 travelers, MSC also offers "Fly & Cruise" packages that integrate flights and transfers for a seamless, inclusive holiday experience.
