• The Cheers! Zero Proof package is now available for all Carnival sailings departing throughout 2026.

Carnival Cruise Line has officially extended its Cheers! Zero Proof beverage package to include all sailings departing in 2026. This announcement, shared by Brand Ambassador John Heald, confirms that the alcohol-free bundle is now available for pre-purchase through the company’s website and mobile application. Originally introduced in late 2025 as a pilot program for a limited number of sailings, the positive reception from guests has led to its permanent inclusion for the upcoming 2026 season.

The package is designed to provide non-drinking guests with a comprehensive refreshment option similar to the traditional alcohol-inclusive programs. For a seven-day cruise, the cost is approximately two hundred dollars, which includes gratuities. The bundle covers a wide variety of premium non-alcoholic options, such as sodas, specialty coffees, milkshakes, energy drinks, and zero-proof spirits. It also features non-alcoholic beers and frozen virgin cocktails, allowing guests to enjoy the social aspects of the cruise beverage culture without consuming alcohol.

There are specific operational guidelines associated with the program to ensure fair usage. Most notably, a ten-minute interval is required between beverage orders. Furthermore, there are slight regional variations in the offering; while the package is available for sailings departing from Australia, it specifically excludes specialty coffees in that market. Despite these minor restrictions, the program has seen high demand, with hundreds of guests expressing immediate interest following the announcement. This expansion reflects a growing industry trend toward accommodating travelers who prioritize sobriety or health-conscious choices while maintaining the convenience of an all-inclusive beverage experience.
