The MSC Voyagers Club is MSC Cruises' five-level passenger loyalty program. Members earn points based on which cruise "experience" (Bella, Fantastica, Aurea or Yacht Club) they book combined with length of cruise (ranging from 200 points for a five-night or shorter cruise booked with the cheapest Bella experience to 2,000 for a nine-night or longer cruise in the Yacht Club).
In addition, passengers receive an additional 100 points for every €/$150 spent (based on the onboard currency) on prebooked onboard extras -- such as spa treatments and shore excursions -- as well as onboard purchases.
Classic Voyagers Club members and above are invited to an exclusive MSC Club welcome cocktail reception and receive various special offers onboard. Discounts are given for onboard extras such as spa treatments, specialty dining and MSC Cruises logowear. Freebies (varying by membership level) include fruit baskets, commemorative photos and a pass to the onboard thermal suite.
One neat perk for members of MSC's loyalty program is its Status Match option, which allows members of other travel company loyalty programs -- including cruise lines, hotels and tour operators, but not airlines -- to receive the MSC benefits that correspond to their level in the other program, by registering online ahead of time.
