EARNING POINTS
Celebrity Rewards is a travel agent loyalty program that has been specifically designed to reward travel agents for making sales of cruises operating under the Celebrity Cruises’ brand name. The Program enables Participants to earn points for every Celebrity Cruises booking they make, which can then be spent on rewards subject to these Terms and Conditions and any special rules regarding a particular redemption option. No points are earned when a Participant books any other cruises, including cruises operating under Celebrity’s sister brands Royal Caribbean International and Azamara Club Cruises.
Participants can earn Points on “Qualifying Bookings”. A “Qualifying Booking” is a booking for a Celebrity Cruises’ cruise made by the Participant. Within ninety (90) days from the date that a Qualifying Booking is made, you must “Claim” the Qualifying Booking. Requests made after the expiration of that ninety (90) day period may not be honored. To “Claim” the booking, you must provide all required information at www.celebrityrewards.com. Qualifying Booking cannot be transferred.
Prior to April 1st, 2021, 500 Core Points (worth $5) will be earned for each Qualifying Booking.
As of April 1st, 2021, each Qualifying Booking will earn the following Core Points:
- 500 Core Points (worth $5) – Inside, Ocean View and Veranda
- 750 Core Points (worth $7.50) – Concierge and AquaClass
- 1000 Core Points (worth $10) – Retreat Sky and Celebrity Suites
- 1500 Core Points (worth ($15) – Retreat Upper Suites
Bookings made in violation of any Cruise Line policy shall not be eligible for Core Points nor Bonus Points.
From time to time, Celebrity may run promotions allowing Participants to earn bonus points. The terms and conditions of the promotion shall apply to the applicable promotion. Active promotions will be available to view once logged in at www.celebrityrewards.com.

Points can be earned on Future Cruise ‘Cruise Now’ bookings made onboard and these should appear on the weekly bookings update under 'claim my bookings’. Onboard bookings must be booked under the correct agency booking phone number at the time of the booking being made. If onboard bookings are made that are not tied to the correct agency and subsequently transferred to the correct booking phone number, these bookings will not be captured on the Celebrity Rewards reports and will therefore not be eligible for any points.
Net Tour Operator rate bookings will be eligible for Core Points only; however, these bookings will not be applicable to any additional point incentives.
If a booking which a Participant has claimed and earned Redeemable Points for subsequently cancels, the amount of points originally awarded for that booking will be deducted from the Participant’s account, even if the Redeemable Points have already been spent on rewards or that results in a negative balance. Participants can view bookings with a ‘Cancelled’ status at any time on their ‘Account Summary’ page.
We reserve the right to pursue available legal remedies for violations of the Program and these Terms and Conditions.
