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 Princess Cruises, which has Captain’s Circle.
In this guide, we’ll explain how Captain’s Circle works, provide details on the four different tiers and answer some frequently asked questions.
Introducing Captain’s Circle
How Captain’s Circle Works
Dubbed the Best Loyalty Program at Sea by Princess Cruises, Captain’s Circle is a free-to-join rewards programme. You’ll automatically become a Gold member after your first cruise, and you’ll enjoy a range of benefits on your cruises thereafter.
As the number of times you sail with Princess Cruises increases, so 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.
