Marella Cruises Expands Alcohol-Free Drinks Across Its Fleet

Marella Cruises is giving guests more choice when it comes to alcohol-free drinks, with an expanded range being introduced across its fleet from August 2026.

The TUI UK cruise line is adding 18 alcohol-free cocktails, six 0% ABV spirits and four alcohol-free wines to its drinks offering. Guests will also be able to choose from non-alcoholic beer and cider, while gluten-free Estrella beer is being added to the All Inclusive drinks selection.

The expanded range will be available to all guests sailing with Marella Cruises. Those opting for Premium All Inclusive will have access to the additional selection of 0% spirits and alcohol-free cocktails.

More Choice for All Inclusive Guests

The All Inclusive drinks range will include 0% red, white, rosé and sparkling wine, alongside Heineken 0% and Somersby 0% cider.

Marella Cruises is also adding gluten-free Estrella beer, giving guests with dietary requirements another option within the All Inclusive package.

For Premium All Inclusive guests, the new range includes six 0% ABV spirits from Lyre’s. These include Lyre’s London Dry Gin, American Malt Bourbon, White Cane Rum, Agave Blanco Tequila, Coffee Originale and Italian Spritz.

18 Alcohol-Free Cocktails

The new 0% spirits are also being used to create 18 specially designed alcohol-free cocktails, including alternatives to some familiar favourites.

The Grapefruit Refresher combines Lyre’s London Dry with pink grapefruit and soda, while the Nojito uses Lyre’s White Cane with mint, lime and soda. The Summer Sour combines Lyre’s London Dry with lemon, soda, mint and basil.

For a take on a classic cocktail, the Gentle Fashioned uses Lyre’s American Malt with bitters and orange peel.

The expanded selection is designed to give guests more options beyond traditional soft drinks, whether they choose not to drink alcohol or simply want to alternate between alcoholic and alcohol-free drinks during their cruise.

Responding to Guest Feedback

Luke Saunders, Food and Drink Development Manager at Marella Cruises, says the new range follows feedback from customers and a review of the existing drinks menus. “We are pleased to be expanding our non-alcoholic drinks menus onboard across our ships. After listening to customer feedback and reviewing the gaps in our menu, we want to enhance a customer’s experience onboard and cater to those who would prefer a non-alcoholic alternative. We are looking forward to our new and returning customers trying out 0% cocktails for when they are next onboard.”

The expanded alcohol-free drinks range is available across the Marella Cruises fleet from August 2026, giving guests more choice within both the All Inclusive and Premium All Inclusive packages.
