HX Expeditions Drink Packages
Last Updated: November 2026 | Reviewed by: Daniela Cervantes, Staff Writer
HX Expeditions operates under a fully all-inclusive model across its fleet of expedition ships, where an extensive selection of beverages?including wines, beers, house spirits, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks?is integrated directly into your base cruise fare. Guests do not need to purchase a daily drink package.
What is Included
The standard all-inclusive beverage offering on HX Expeditions is available throughout the day across all dining venues, lounge bars, and public spaces:
- House Wines: Complimentary white, red, rose, and sparkling wines served by the glass during lunch, dinner, and throughout the day in lounge venues.
- Beers & Ciders: A selection of draft, domestic, and imported beers and ciders.
- Spirits & Cocktails: Selected house spirits, mixed drinks, and classic/signature cocktails.
- Non-Alcoholic Drinks: Unlimited fountain and canned sodas, juices, mocktails, and filtered still and sparkling water. Refillable water stations are located across the ship for filling complimentary expedition water bottles.
- Hot Drinks & Specialty Coffees: Barista-crafted espresso drinks (cappuccinos, lattes, espresso), premium teas, and hot chocolate available all day.
- In-Suite Mini-Bar & Amenities: Suites feature complimentary daily mini-bar replenishment stocked with beverages and spirits based on stateroom category.
Exceptions & Out-of-Pocket Charges
While the standard inclusion covers the vast majority of guest requests throughout an expedition voyage, a few high-end selections carry an out-of-pocket fee:
- Premium & Reserve Wine List: Rare vintage wines, high-end Champagnes, and specialty bottles outside the house selection are available for optional purchase by the bottle.
- Ultra-Premium Spirits: Top-shelf liquors, rare aged whiskies, and specialized cognac brands may carry a small extra charge per serving.
Policy Guidelines & Tipping
- No Tipping Required: All onboard gratuities?including beverage service charges?are fully included in the base fare.
- No Stateroom Matching Requirements: Because HX Expeditions operates on an all-inclusive basis rather than selling drink tiers, guests do not face stateroom package matching rules.
