About the club

What Is a Cruise Travel Club, and How Does It Work?

A paid membership that gives you two things: an instant discount on ocean and river cruises, hotels, and resorts — and points that build up over time. Points can cover up to 50% of a cruise price, or up to 100% if you have saved enough and book 270 days or more before departure.

In short

It's a paid monthly membership. You get a member price, typically about 17% off cruises, hotels and resorts, or Reward Points covering up to 50% of a cruise price, or up to 100% with enough points saved and a booking made 270+ days before departure. They don't combine; pick a plan to match how often you travel.

You pay a monthly membership fee, and in exchange you get access to club pricing and a rewards system built specifically around travel. It isn’t a travel agency, and it isn’t an investment — it’s closer to a subscription that pays you back in trips.

Two Ways to Save

In each booking you choose one of them.

How Much Points Can Cover

The earlier you book, the larger the share of the cruise price your points can pay.

Under 30 daysbefore departure
no points
30+ daysbefore departure
up to 50%
270+ daysbefore departure
up to 100% — if you have enough
First half of the price1 point = $1
Second half of the price2 points per $1

Example: a $4,800 cruise paid entirely with points costs 7,200 points — 2,400 for the first half and 4,800 for the second.

The price match guarantee and Trip Protection don’t apply when you pay entirely with points — only with points + payment.
