Royal Caribbean Group has announced an update for loyalty members of its three brands: Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Silversea.
Going into effect on board on June 5, guests will be able to attain equivalent tier status across all three, enhancing their existing benefits.
The new Loyalty Status Match program is the first among major cruise companies. It allows members of Royal Caribbean’s Crown & Anchor Society, Celebrity Cruises‘ Captain’s Club, and Silversea’s Venetian Society to enjoy reciprocal tier status regardless of which brand they choose to sail with.
