What Does All-Inclusive Mean on a Cruise?

An all-inclusive cruise bundles your accommodation, all main meals, drinks and onboard entertainment into a single fare — so your spending money stays in your pocket rather than disappearing at the bar or the buffet. What exactly is covered varies by cruise line and fare tier, which is why it pays to have a specialist check the small print before you book. The sections below cover the lines, ships, destinations and fare types you will find here, so you can match the right deal to the holiday you actually want.

Where Do All-Inclusive Cruises Go from the UK?

The range spans everything from short no-fly sailings from Southampton to long-haul voyages across Southeast Asia, the Pacific and beyond. Here is how the destinations break down.

Round Britain and No-Fly Sailings

A meaningful share of departures leave from Southampton, making them genuinely no-fly holidays. Most of Britain can reach Southampton by road or rail, so you can drive or take the train to the terminal and be aboard the same afternoon. For sailings that end abroad, you will need a flight home — our team can book that for you, along with any hotels either side. If you want all-inclusive sailing from a British port, the all-inclusive no-fly Southampton sailings page narrows it down straight away. England features across the sailing calendar, with itineraries ranging from short coastal breaks to longer round-Britain routes.

Southern Europe and the Mediterranean

The Western Mediterranean is a consistently strong region across the sailing calendar. Departures typically fly to embarkation ports in Spain, Italy or Greece — cities such as Barcelona and Rome (Civitavecchia) — so we can arrange flights, a hotel the night before and transfers as one package. If you want to narrow it further, Mediterranean all-inclusive cruises in 2026 and Mediterranean all-inclusive cruises in 2027 each have their own pages.

Further Afield

Southeast Asia accounts for the largest share of sailings among the top results, with ships often embarking at Singapore or disembarking at Hong Kong. These are longer itineraries — a median of 13 nights, with some running to 40 — and they reward proper planning. Our team can put together the flights, pre- or post-cruise hotels, and transfers so neither end of the trip becomes a headache. All-inclusive Asia cruises in 2026 are available for those who want to explore that region specifically.

Central America is well represented, often sailing from Florida — worth noting that Miami and Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) are about half an hour apart, so a Florida-based sailing is worth checking from both ports for the best dates and prices. All-inclusive fly Caribbean sailings in 2026 cover that corner of the world if you want to go straight there.

Japan cruises are available for those after something more unusual in Asia, with Tokyo and Yokohama among the ports these itineraries use. Japan cruises in 2027 have their own page if that year suits you better.

Transatlantic crossings sit alongside sailings to East Asia, South America, New Zealand and Polynesia — most of them one-way, so factor in the return flight when you plan. A good number of itineraries are one-way, which means the ship starts somewhere different from where it ends; we will flag that clearly and book the return leg for you.

Which Cruise Lines Offer All-Inclusive Fares?

The lines below each take a different approach to what “all-inclusive” means in practice. Reading the fare tiers carefully — or letting one of our experts do it for you — makes the difference between a holiday that feels genuinely all-in and one that racks up extras at every meal.

MSC Cruises

MSC Cruises leads the field by volume here, with a wide range of ships and itineraries across multiple regions. MSC’s all-inclusive fares bundle drinks packages, dining and entertainment, making it straightforward to know what you are spending before you board. MSC sailings from Southampton offer a no-fly option for UK travellers.

Costa Cruises

Costa Cruises offers several distinct fare tiers worth understanding before you book:

• All Inclusive — full board (breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks), unlimited premium drinks via the My Drinks Plus package, shows and entertainment, and a reserved table for dinner.
• Comfort Plus — full board, unlimited drinks, 24-hour room service, entertainment and a reserved dining table, all in one price.
• FLASH — a limited-availability fare with full board included; drinks packages can be added after booking.
• Last Minute — secures remaining cabins with full board, shows and entertainment included.

Costa’s ships bring a distinctly Italian character to the fleet. The Costa Fascinosa is a striking example — its interiors draw on the cinematic glamour of Fellini and Visconti, with gold leaf and deep ruby décor throughout. The Samsara Spa spans 6,000 m² across 2 decks, with a thalassotherapy pool and more than 100 spa-access cabins, while a three-deck theatre anchors the evening entertainment. The onboard Archipelago restaurant has hosted 3 Michelin-starred chefs. See the full range of Costa Fascinosa cabins and deck plans before you choose your grade.

The Costa Smeralda goes further still. It is home to the Osteria Frescobaldi — the world’s first Frescobaldi wine restaurant at sea — and the Solemio Spa (4,500 m²) includes a snow grotto, one of the most distinctive wellness features in the Costa fleet. The Colosseo Theatre spans 3 decks for evening shows, and the onboard Food Lab offers cookery classes. Costa Smeralda cabin grades and deck plans are worth checking if you are weighing up which grade to book.

Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Cruise Line gives you genuine choice in how all-inclusive your sailing is:

• brochure — the lowest fare with no packages added, for those who prefer to pay as they go.
• Free at Sea (NCLATSEA) — guests 1 and 2 receive a premium beverage package, a speciality dining package, a Wi-Fi package and shore excursion credits of US$50 per port.
• Free at Sea Plus (NCLATSEAPLUS) — the full package applied to all guests on the booking, covering premium drinks, speciality dining at venues such as a steakhouse or French bistro, internet and excursion credits, with the number of included dining meals scaled to the cruise length.

Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity Cruises structures its fares around how much you want included from the outset:

• Best Rate — cruise-only pricing, with the lowest base fare; add extras after booking.
• Best Value — a classic drinks package and basic Wi-Fi included, giving you the most popular inclusions in one price.
• The Retreat — suite accommodation with premium drinks, premium Wi-Fi, an exclusive lounge and resort-style sundeck, private dining and dedicated personal service.

Celebrity sailings from Southampton include a no-fly option; the Celebrity 2026 cruises from Southampton page covers those departures in detail.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Regent Seven Seas Cruises is one of the most thoroughly all-inclusive lines in the world — fares typically include shore excursions, speciality dining, drinks and gratuities, so the price you see is genuinely close to the price you pay. The Seven Seas Grandeur is one of the fleet’s standout ships; Seven Seas Grandeur cabins and deck plans are available if you are comparing suite grades.

Explora Journeys

Explora Journeys takes an ocean-resort approach, with fares built around a generous all-inclusive model. EXPLORA II and the upcoming EXPLORA III — which joins the fleet in 2027 — both feature on these pages. EXPLORA II cabins and deck plans and EXPLORA III cabins and deck plans are there when you are ready to compare grades.

Azamara

Azamara is built around destination immersion — small ships with long port stays and late-night departures, accessing boutique harbours that larger vessels simply cannot reach. The Azamara Journey carries just 694 guests, and its fare includes specialty restaurants Prime C and Aqualina at no extra charge, plus a Caviar and Champagne Bar on board. Azamara’s AzAmazing Evenings — exclusive private cultural events ashore — are included too, from vineyard dinners to private performances. Check Azamara Journey cabins and deck plans for the full grade breakdown. The Azamara Onward takes around 692 guests to 167 ports worldwide, with overnight stays giving you the time to explore each destination properly. Prime C Steakhouse and Aqualina Italian are included, as is the Caviar & Champagne Bar — boutique-hotel dining without the cruise-ship crowds. Azamara Onward cabins and deck plans are available when you are ready to choose. The Azamara Quest rounds out the trio, with Azamara Quest cabin grades and deck plans on hand too.

Seabourn

For ultra-luxury all-inclusive cruising, Seabourn Ovation is the fleet’s latest addition. The spa offers exquisite wellness treatments and luxurious thermal suites, and the 5 dining venues include the Earth & Ocean al fresco restaurant — an outdoor dining experience unlike anything you will find on a larger ship. The Grand Wintergarden Suite is approximately 115–120 m² of private space, with a separate bedroom, generous living area, full kitchen, bar and a private hot tub, sleeping up to 4 guests. Seabourn Ovation cabins and deck plans cover every grade from veranda suites upward.

Package Varieties

Not every sailing here is a straight round-trip. A good share of itineraries are one-way, which means you join the ship in one port and leave it in another — ideal if you want to take in 2 very different regions on a single holiday, but you will need to plan the return journey. Our team factors that in from the start, booking the return flight and any connecting transfers so the whole trip is joined up. For sailings that begin and end in the same port, a Cruise1st Package can add flights, hotels, tours and transfers around your cruise as a single booking.

Why Book Your All-Inclusive Cruise with Cruise1st?

As one of the UK’s leading cruise specialists, Cruise1st’s team knows the difference between a fare that looks all-inclusive and one that actually is. Our experts can read the fine print on every tier — from Costa’s Comfort Plus to Norwegian’s Free at Sea Plus and Celebrity’s Retreat — and match you to the package that suits how you like to spend a day at sea. We are rated 4.5/5 on Trustpilot from more than 7,000 reviews, and we are ABTA- and ATOL-protected.

For most sailings, you will fly to join the ship, which means your cruise is the centrepiece of a longer trip. Tell us where you are flying from, what cabin grade you want and whether you need a hotel at either end, and we will price it all up together. If you are sailing from Southampton, we can add a transfer, a pre-cruise hotel or a train ticket as part of the same booking.
