56: On-Sale General Vessel

Type 56 California Liquor License
On-Sale General for Vessel

A Type 56 California liquor license is for vessels of more than 1,000 tons engaged in interstate and foreign commerce.  This is the typical liquor license for a cruise ship.  The license is issued to the carrier company with a duplicate thereof obtained by each vessel on which alcohol is sold.  This license allows for the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits.

The fee for a Type 56 liquor license in California is $300 for the first year and an annual renewal fee of $200.
