MSC Cruises Status Match – What is it?
Reading Time: 3 minutes Get matched for great rewards
Almost all cruise lines offer a loyalty scheme, from Cunard Line’s Cunard World Club to Royal Caribbean’s Crown and Anchor Society.
MSC Cruises are no different and their loyalty scheme is the MSC Voyagers Club. What is different is they have a fantastic status match scheme that almost anyone that has cruised before will benefit from, better yet – they even accept memberships from hotel loyalty schemes too!
How does it work?
You simply fill out a form with MSC Cruises and give them your information on the current loyalty status you hold from a list of companies that include cruise lines and hotels.
Can I do this more than once?
No, you can only match once in your lifetime. Make sure you cruise within 3 years of your match otherwise you will lose your new status.
Which companies can I match with?
Cruise lines: Costa Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Carnival Cruise, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Cunard Line, Princess Cruises, Silversea, Regent Cruises, Holland America Line, P&O Cruises, Azamara Cruises, Seabourn Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, Ponant Yacht Cruises, Aida Cruises, Crystal Cruises, Oceania Cruises, Star Cruises,

What about if I already have a Voyagers Club membership?
Just fill out your details on the form with all the information in your current Voyagers Club account, they will then upgrade that account.
How do I do it?
Just head over to:
MSC Cruises Status Match form for UK/Europe or

From previous experience, our form was answered within a few hours (on a weekday) and our status was then upgraded immediately. You’ve nothing to lose!
We hope you found this little guide handy – let us know in the comments if you managed to match successfully!
Note: The Black level was replaced by the Diamond level in late October 2019.
This guide will be updated shortly (May 2021)
The other question is. Will other cruise lines also match my black card status with my msc status so i can get discounts and benefits if i want to cruise on other cruise lines that go to destinations msc do not?
Thank you.So this is only for a couple of countries, not for all countries? :(
