MSC Cruises Status Match – What is it?

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.
