MSC Cruises, the Geneva based cruise shipping company, said it is upgrading the drinks package included in its Aurea onboard experience. "From 1 May 2014, all Aurea guests will receive the all-inclusive Allegrissimo drinks package as standard – giving them unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks from the bar list, including spirits and cocktails, as well as free ice-cream. Currently, Aurea guests receive the Cheers! package, which includes drinks during lunch and dinner," the company said in a statement.

All guests already booked to travel with an Aurea Experience will be automatically upgraded to the Allegrissimo package. The Aurea Experience offers an expansive range of benefits and is aimed at guests seeking relaxation and pampering.

As well as 24-hour room service and the option of breakfast in cabin, some of the other benefits include a complimentary spa package (featuring access to the Thermal Area for the entire cruise, Balinese massage, Solarium and welcome cocktail); luxurious cabin with wellbeing products, bathrobe and slippers; access to an exclusive sun deck, flexible dining in a dedicated restaurant area; and priority boarding.

MSC Cruises introduced its 'experienced-based’ pricing structure earlier this year. Guests now choose cabin type and one of four categories of experience – Bella, Fantastica, Aurea and Yacht Club – ensuring they get the very best holiday to suit their needs and budget.
