Everything you need to know about Captain's Club, Celebrity Cruises' loyalty programme

Published on 30 Dec 2024


Did you know that your passion for cruising can unlock exclusive rewards? Many of our fantastic cruise line partners offer loyalty programmes designed to reward you for sailing with them time and time again. Celebrity Cruises’ celebrated Captain’s Club lets you earn points with every voyage – the more luxurious your stateroom and the longer you sail, the faster your points add up. In this guide, we’ll break down how Captain’s Club works, explore the six membership tiers, and answer key questions. Discover how your love for the sea can translate into incredible perks and unforgettable adventures.

Introducing Captain’s Club

Captain’s Club offers you the chance to accumulate Club Points with each cruise, bringing you closer to unforgettable experiences and exclusive benefits. Your points are earned based on two key factors – the stateroom category you choose and the number of nights you spend at sea. Whether you opt for a cosy interior cabin or indulge in a lavish suite, each night onboard adds to your points, moving you up through the membership tiers. Join Captain’s Club today and let your adventures at sea become even more rewarding.

How Captain’s Club Works

Joining the Captain’s Club is simple and rewarding. Start by creating an online account, where you can either register as a new member or link your existing Captain’s Club number. From there, every night you sail adds to your points total – with the number of points depending on the stateroom category you select. The more you cruise, the more benefits you unlock. 

Stateroom Types and Captain’s Club Points

Your Captain’s Club points are earned nightly, with the amount based on the stateroom category you choose. Below is a table outlining how many points you’ll collect each night, depending on your accommodation choice.

Frequently Asked Questions about Captain’s Club

How can I check which tier I am?

When you have enrolled in the program, you can easily check your Celebrity Cruises Captain’s Club tier by signing into your online account. Once logged in, you'll see your current tier and total points at a glance, keeping you up to date on your progress and rewards.

When will my points be awarded? 

Club points may take up to 14 days to appear in your account after your cruise.

How are Club Points calculated? 

Your Club Points are calculated based on the stateroom category you book and the duration of your cruise. Depending on your stateroom, you can earn between 2 to 24 points per night. Solo travellers who book a stateroom and pay the full fare will earn double the amount of Club Points, based on stateroom category and number of nights sailed (as of July 1, 2014). The higher your points, the greater the rewards – making every night at sea even more valuable.

Does the Captain’s Club membership apply to children?

No, you must be at least 18 years old to become a Captain’s Club member.

Will I get points for travelling with Celebrity Cruises' sister brands? 

The Loyalty Status Match programme ensures you enjoy top-tier perks across the ocean. Now, members can seamlessly match their loyalty status one-to-one across Royal Caribbean International®, Celebrity Cruises®, and Silversea®. Wherever you sail, your rewards sail with you.
