Do Any Cruise Lines Match Status?

The article explores the loyalty programs offered by top cruise lines, including MSC Cruises, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity Cruises. MSC Cruises’ Status Match program allows members to join the MSC Voyagers Club by bringing their benefits from another cruise line with them, allowing them to enjoy comparable or even better benefits. The program features extensive match options across all cruise lines and matches loyalty status for members of Royal Caribbean’s Crown and Anchor Society.

MSC Cruises makes it easy to status match with any qualified program by submitting information on their website and a screenshot of their matching loyalty program. However, they do not status match with airlines such as United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Delta Airlines, or American Airlines.

The only line that offers matches to cruise lines, hotels, and airlines is MSC Cruises. Virgin will match any cruise line status through the end of the year. Royal Caribbean Group announced a new loyalty status match program, allowing guests to get equivalent status across three brands.

Status matches are not common in the cruise world, with only two cruise lines — Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises — offering reciprocal status. The MSC Voyagers Club allows members to join the MSC Voyagers Club by bringing their benefits from another cruise line with them, instantly enjoying comparable or even better benefits.
