Did you know that you can be rewarded for your loyalty if you sail with the same cruise line time and time again?
Many of our cruise line partners offer reward programmes based on the number of nights sailed, like P&O Cruises who have The Peninsular Club.
In this guide, we’ll explain how The Peninsular Club works, provide details on the six different tiers and answer some frequently asked questions.
For each night you spend onboard, P&O Cruises awards you 10 loyalty points. Once you’ve spent at least 15 nights onboard (accumulating 150 points), you’re automatically enrolled as a member of the Peninsular Club. So, after 15 nights and 150 points, you enter the Pacific Tier.
As the number of nights you spend onboard increases over subsequent holidays so too does your tier status. Each time you complete a cruise that takes you to the next tier, you’ll enjoy a new level of benefits on your next cruise.
How can I check which tier I am?
To check your current tier, log into the My Account section on the P&O Cruises website.
When will my points be awarded?
Loyalty points are awarded once you’ve completed a cruise.
Once you have spent 15 nights onboard and earned 150 points, you automatically become a member of The Peninsular Club and enter the Pacific Tier.
As points are awarded at the end of a cruise, you can’t move up a tier mid-cruise. Instead, you’ll enjoy the benefits of the next tier on your next P&O cruise.
How do I know if I am a Baltic or Ligurian member?
If you have 2,501 points or more, then you’re partly qualified.
To qualify for the Baltic Tier, you’ll also need to have spent at least 80 to 200 nights onboard in the 3 years preceding your next cruise.
To enter the Ligurian Tier, you’ll need to have spent at least 201 nights onboard in the 3 years preceding your next cruise.
The 3-year period is taken from the embarkation date of your next cruise.
Does the Peninsular Club membership apply to children?
Yes! 16 to 18-year-olds are entitled to the same benefits as adults, with the exception of alcohol being substituted by a non-alcoholic alternative.
Children aged 17 and under will receive a gift designed specifically for their age group. They will also receive the onboard discount appropriate to their tier level.
Your child’s onboard discount is not transferable to your account.
Will I get points for travelling with P&O Cruises' sister brands?
No, points can only be awarded to members travelling onboard a P&O Cruises ship.
If I purchase my shore excursions prior to my cruise, will my onboard spend discount still be applied?
Yes, if you purchase shore excursions before departure, the applicable onboard spend discount will reflect the tier that you are predicted to be in on the date of embarkation, not on the date of purchase.
The discount on shore excursions that are paid for pre-cruise is not dependent on your spending of allocated non-refundable onboard credit.
For a world cruise, purchase shore excursions prior to the start of your cruise, and the applicable onboard spend discount will reflect the tier that you are predicted to be in at the start of the segment in which the activity is taken and not the date of embarkation.
